Cheesy turkey pepperoni on top of a Greek yogurt pizza crust air fried to crispy perfection!

Ingredients

For the Pizza Dough

  • 1 C (120g) All Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 2/3 C (150g) Fat Free Greek Yogurt

For the Toppings

  • 1/3-1/2 C (80-120g) Pizza Sauce or Marinara
  • 1/2 C (56g) Shredded Italian Cheese Blend (mozzarella and parmesan)
  • 30g Turkey Pepperoni
  • Pinch of Crushed Red Pepper and Oregano (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry dough ingredients together in a large bowl before adding the Greek yogurt. Use a fork or rubber spatula to mix everything together until crumbly. Empty the beginnings of the dough onto a flat surface and use your hands to form a ball of dough. (You can also use a food processor or stand mixer for this step.)
  2. Use your hands to press outward from the center of the dough, creating thicker edges for the crust than in the center. The dough should be about 8″ in diameter.
  3. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray before adding the crust. You can spray the top with a little extra cooking spray or brush with olive oil to help with browning.
  4. Air fry at 400ºF for 8-10 minutes* or until golden brown. Use a fork or tongs to carefully flip the crust. Air fry for an additional 3-5 minutes until both sides are golden brown.
  5. Add the toppings and air fry an additional 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and toppings are cooked to your liking.

Notes

*I used a 6.5-quart Ninja Foodi for air frying. Different air fryers may require different cook times/temps. Start on the lower end and extend as needed. You can reference the photos in the post above for visual cues on what your crust should look like at each step. If you don’t have an air fryer, you should be able to bake the crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone.

Each slice (1/4 of the pizza) has 6 WW SmartPoints (blue plan).
