What You’ll Need

Equipment

• Pizza pan: Mine is 12″.
• Parchment
• Rolling pin
• Pizza cutter

Ingredients

• Bread flour
• Baking powder
• Salt
• Oregano, basil, garlic powder
• Fage non-fat plain greek yogurt
• G Hughes sugar free hickory BBQ: Or bbq sauce of choice.
• Mozzarella cheese
• Cooked chicken: To make it easy, I usually use pre-cooked, rotisserie or canned chicken.
• Red onion
• Green onion: Optional, to garnish.

How To Make It

1. Preheat oven and prep pan: Preheat the oven to 450 F and line your pizza pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, oregano, basil and garlic powder so everything is evenly distributed.
3. Add yogurt: Add in the greek yogurt and stir with a spoon until a dough forms.
4. Form the crust: Lightly grease or dust your counter surface with flour and set down the dough. Knead the dough a bit to make sure everything’s combined well. Roll dough out into a circle the size of your pan, gently rolling in the edges to form a crust (I like to do this right on the parchment so I can just slide it on my pan).
5. Bake: Bake dough for 12 minutes. Top with bbq sauce, cheese, chicken and onion. Bake for another 6-8 minutes, until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown. Top with optional green onion and more bbq and enjoy!

Tips

• Bread flour: Using bread flour helps with gluten development and overall structure of the dough since it has a higher protein content. Regular all-purpose flour works as well (you can also use self-rising flour and skip the baking powder).
• Greek yogurt: Fage greek yogurt will make your life so much easier when working with the dough. It’s a lot thicker and won’t turn into a sticky mess.
• Forming the crust: I spread the dough out right on the parchment and just slide it onto the pan.

Equipment

• Pizza pan
• Parchment

Ingredients

• 1 cup bread flour (124 g)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp each: dried basil, oregano, garlic powder
• 1 cup Fage non fat plain greek yogurt (227 g)
• 1/3 cup G Hughes sugar free hickory bbq sauce (80 g)
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese (84 g) grated
• 3 oz cooked chicken breast (84 g) chopped
• 1/4 cup red onion (47 g) finely chopped
• green onion optional, to garnish

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 450 F and line a pizza pan with parchment (mine is 12").
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, oregano, basil and garlic powder. Add the greek yogurt and stir together until a dough forms.
• Lightly grease or dust counter with flour. Knead dough for a minute to fully combine, then use a rolling pin and your hands to spread into a circle the size of your pan, gently rolling the edges in to form a crust (I spread it out right on the parchment so I can just slide it on the pan).
• Transfer to your baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes. It may inflate, but will deflate after taking it out.
• Add bbq sauce, cheese, chicken and red onion and put back into oven for 6-8 minutes, until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown. Slice into 6 pieces, add green onion and more bbq if desired and enjoy!

Notes

• Forming the crust: I find it easiest to spread the dough out right on the parchment, then slide it onto your pan.
• Parchment: This is a must (or grease your pan very well) – the dough will stick to the pan without it.
