About This Recipe

A thin and crispy pizza crust topped with a pink sauce and turkey pepperoni.

Ingredients

  • 1-1 1/4 cup All Purpose Flour
    120g for softer crust, 150g for extra crispy
  • 2/3 cup Fat Free Greek Yogurt
  • 2 tsp Olive Oil
    For brushing crust
  • 2-4 Tbsp Marinara or Pizza Sauce
    Lower end for less sauce, higher end for more
  • 2-4 Tbsp Light Alfredo Sauce
    Combined with marinara = pink sauce
  • 17 slices Turkey Pepperoni
    Standard cut, not mini
  • 1/4 cup Shredded Mozzarella
    Part-skim works fine
  • 1/4 cup Shredded Parmesan
    Top layer for crunch

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 500°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick silicone mat (do NOT use wax paper — it will stick to the crust).
  2. Mix flour and Greek yogurt in a food processor for 10-15 seconds until crumbly, then bring together with hands. Or mix by hand with a fork and finish by hand.
  3. Transfer dough to parchment/silicone surface and roll into a large rectangle (~12x8 inches) using a rolling pin.
  4. Brush crust with olive oil. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown on top. Remove from oven and reduce heat to 350°F.
  5. Mix marinara and alfredo sauces together to make pink sauce. Spread evenly over pre-baked crust.
  6. Top with mozzarella, half the parmesan, all pepperoni, and any other toppings (pineapple, jalapeño, crushed red pepper).
  7. Sprinkle remaining parmesan over the top.
  8. Bake 8-10 more minutes until cheese is fully melted and pepperoni begins to crisp.
  9. Cut into 8 slices and serve immediately.

💡 Notes & Tips

  • For almond flour variation: 3/4 cup (90g) almond flour + 3/4 cup (90g) AP flour + 3/4 cup (168g) Greek yogurt + 1 Tbsp (15g) olive oil. Bake at 500°F for 14-16 minutes.
  • Use silicone mat or parchment paper — wax paper will fuse to the crust.
  • Cook any raw veggie toppings before adding, since the crust gets pre-baked.
  • Best eaten fresh. Crust softens as it sits, but can be re-crisped in air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 min.
