I felt genius when making this 150 calorie pizza with an egg white crust. It is surprisingly filling and you can make multiple for dinner. I will say though, it is a little time consuming to make (even though it’s completely worth it). So I had to make a quicker low calorie pizza (with a real crust this time) that tastes just as good as regular pizza’s for a fraction of the calories. This dough is the perfect canvas for any pizza craving you have!

Ingredients

Exact ingredient quantities can be found at the bottom of this page.

To make this low calorie pizza dough you will need:

Self-raising flour – This recipe calls for self-raising flour rather than plain or all-purpose flour. This will help the dough rise and stay soft and fluffy without the need for any yeast! You can replace with all-purpose flour with the addition of baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Fat-free yogurt – Yogurt will turn the flour into a dough that resembles regular pizza dough. It adds moisture and structure for a teeny amount of calories. I would recommend using Greek yogurt here as it’s thicker than regular pizza and can give a better texture.

Olive oil – A small amount to make the dough super soft and fluffy.

Salt – A sprinkle of salt for a little flavor.

How to make low calorie pizza dough

1. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, yogurt oil and salt and fold until a dough forms.
2. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured flat surface and roll out using a rolling pin.
3. Once the dough has been rolled out to your desired thickness, it is ready for toppings!

That’s really it, so simple isn’t it?

How to use this dough

You can make any pizza using this crust – from a classic cheese pizza to a creamy chicken and garlic pizza, it is very customizable to your taste buds! Here are some combinations to give you a little Inspo!

Classic cheese pizza – My fist recommendation would be this classic cheese pizza. Use any tomato base of your choosing and top with low-fat cheese.

Pepperoni pizza – Another classic, just add any tomato base, some low-fat cheese and a few pepperoni slices and enjoy! Here is a in depth post to make the perfect low calorie pepperoni pizza.

Creamy chicken pizza – This one may require a little more time but is incredibly tasty. Just add a creamy white sauce as the base, top with baked chicken pieces and low-fat cheese.

Cheesy garlic bread pizza – This dough also works great for low calorie cheesy garlic bread pizza’s. Mix a bunch of grated fresh garlic with low-fat butter and chopped parsley. Spread this across the dough and top with a generous sprinkle of low-fat cheese.
