This High Protein Greek Yogurt Pizza Crust is a healthier way to still enjoy a delicious pizza and get WAY more protein in! It is made with all organic ingredients, so it is light on your stomach and does not require any yeast/rising time. You can also easily make it gluten free if you need to. There are 21 grams of protein in just half the pizza crust! I use string cheese to make a cheesy outer crust and oh my lord it is SO good. You probably already have all of the ingredients at home! If you love this recipe, be sure to try my Greek Chicken Pizzas as well.

Health Benefits
- High Protein – You can easily make your pizza have 60+ grams of protein depending on the toppings you choose. I mean, just 1/2 the crust has 21 grams of protein!!
- Can Make Gluten Free – You can easily substitute the regular all purpose flour for gluten free four if you need to and it will turn out the same!
- Vegetarian Friendly – The crust is vegetarian friendly. If you are vegan, you can omit the cheese or substitute for a vegan friendly substitute.
- No Preservatives – Homemade is better for that single reason!!!
- Less Fat – This pizza crust has WAY less fat than one you would buy anywhere. Also, you can control which types of fats go into your pizza. Stay away from those inflammatory oils such as vegetable oil & canola!
Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. fine sea salt 🧂
- Spices of choice (I did oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, onion powder, & garlic powder)
- 1/2 cup plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 2 1/2 pieces mozzarella string cheese 🧀

How To Make It
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl until a dough forms It will seem dry at first but keep mixing/kneading with your hands. I promise it comes together!
- Roll out onto a floured surface. Add pieces of string cheese around the edges for a cheesy crust and fold part of the dough over the string cheese pieces.
- Add your desired pizza toppings on your pizza. Bake for 15-20 minutes & enjoy!
Feel-Good. Taste-Good Food.
How To Store Leftovers
You can store your leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. I like to reheat mine in the oven or air fryer to keep that crispy crust!
