Healthy High Protein Pizza (30 grams Protein)

Each serving of this simple high-protein pizza contains 30 grams of protein. It's simple to prepare, requires no yeast, and I adore that the dough just requires two ingredients. One of the simplest pizzas you can cook in under 30 minutes is this protein pizza!

Add mozzarella cheese and your preferred pizza sauce on top, then bake it until it is golden brown. This recipe is ideal for pizza nights, post-workout meals, and quick midweek dinners.

Why This Recipe Works

• Effortless: No need to wait for the dough to rise or use yeast!
• More than thirty grams of protein: You begin with 20 grams of protein before you add any of the toppings because you are using high-protein flour and Greek yogurt, which is incredibly high in protein. All you need to do is add turkey pepperoni and low-fat cheese.
• It's also quite adaptable: so you can change it up by using different sauces and toppings!
• Lower in calories: Since everyone enjoys pizza, why not create a higher-protein pizza that is also lower in calories?
• Easy ingredients: To make this amazing homemade pizza, all you need is Greek yogurt, flour, pizza sauce, and cheese.
• Meal prep friendly: Make a bigger batch for the week by doubling or tripling the recipe. It can be frozen for up to three months and stays nicely in the refrigerator.
• Cost-effective: Make your own pizza at home to save money.
• For children or adults with varying tastes: This is the ideal size!
• Satisfying: Packed with more than 20 grams of protein per slice, with the correct toppings, this is a healthy choice for youngsters, teens, or adults who are striving to eat more purposefully.

Ingredients Needed

This basic dish calls for only a few ingredients. Here are the major items you'll need:

• Self-Rising Flour - A convenient kind of flour that has already been blended with salt and leavening agent. One cup of all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon of salt can be used to create your own self-rising flour if you don't have any or can't find any. Each serving of this high-protein flour, which is available at supermarkets, provides an additional 12 grams of protein.
• Greek Yogurt - Greek yogurt with a high protein content is what I use, but any thick Greek yogurt will do. You may use a plant-based yogurt that doesn't contain dairy, such coconut yogurt, to make this recipe vegan. This recipe works with any kind of Greek yogurt, full-fat, reduced-fat, or nonfat.
• Pizza Sauce - a tomato-based sauce that is typically flavored with herbs and spices. I made my own pizza sauce. Store-bought alternatives or marinara sauce are also ideal.
• Shredded Chicken - Chicken sausage, diced, grilled, or shredded! a lean protein choice that gives this pizza a lot of taste and protein! It has little calories but a lot of protein. Although rotisserie chicken also works, we create our own shredded chicken at home. You are welcome to add your preferred toppings.
• Mozzarella Cheese - Since it's milk and goes so nicely with the other ingredients, my favorite is shredded mozzarella. However, any kind of shredded cheese will do. You can shred your own, like I did, or use pre-shredded. It melts finest when freshly grated. Any of your preferred cheeses, such as gouda, parmesan, ricotta, or cheddar, can be used.
• Red Onions - They add depth and a little bite to each slice and are slightly sweet when roasted.
• Bell pepper - They are vibrant and sweet, and they offer a great crunch and roast up well on pizza.
• Turkey Pepperoni - You can use whatever you want because I don't eat bacon or pork. Here's your chance to express your creativity. Use anything you're desiring or whatever ingredients you have on hand. You can increase the protein content of your pizza by adding high-protein toppings.

How To Make Protein Pizza

1. Set one of the racks in the middle of the oven and preheat it to 400 degrees F. Additionally, use parchment paper to line a sheet pan.
2. Combine the Greek yogurt and protein flour in a mixing basin and stir to combine. Add extra yogurt if the dough is too thick. Increase the flour if the dough is too thin. Form the dough into a smooth ball using your hands.

3. Roll the dough with a rolling pin to create a thin, round pizza shape after dusting it with flour. Add more flour if it becomes sticky. Gently place the dough on a baking sheet-lined oven pan.

4. Leaving a thin border around the edges, cover the crust with the pizza sauce.

5. Top with bell pepper, red onion, turkey pepperoni, and shredded chicken (or your preferred toppings). Add mozzarella cheese on top.

6. The pizza should be baked for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the crust is brown. You might need to bake it for a bit longer if there are a lot of toppings. Keep an eye on it and broil for 1-2 minutes at the end for an extra cheesy crisp!
7. After 5 minutes of cooling, cut into slices and serve!

Recipe FAQ

Expert Tips

• For even cooking, use a pizza stone or a pizza tray with holes in the bottom. It will maintain the middle's softness and fluff while producing an even CRISPIER crust.
• Ten minutes of resting the dough before rolling will help the gluten relax and make it simpler to deal with and roll out.
• Since fresh mozzarella cheese cooks quickly, it is always added for the last five minutes of cooking. It will overcook and get a touch dry and chewy if you add it first, along with the other toppings.
• Before making the pizza, prepare the dough, cover it tightly with plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
• Any type of flour will work, such as whole wheat flour, oat flour, or all-purpose flour. Use gluten-free flour if you have a gluten sensitivity.
• Preheat the Oven: Before baking the pizza, make sure the oven is completely preheated. For a crispy base and evenly cooked toppings, a hot oven is essential.
• Avoid using too much sauce or garnishes. This may cause the crust to become soggy and heavy.

Storage instructions

• In the refrigerator: If kept in an airtight container, leftovers should keep for two to three days.
• To store: You can keep leftovers for up to five days in the refrigerator, covered.
• Freezer: For up to two months, store in an airtight container or ziplock bag in the freezer. Thaw in the refrigerator.
• Reheat: in an air fryer for 2 to 3 minutes at 350 degrees F, or in an oven at 375 degrees F until the cheese melts.
