Ingredients
Crust:
- 75 g self-raising flour* plus an extra 5g for rolling out
- 70 g fat-free yogurt
- 1 tsp olive oil
- sprinkle of salt
Pizza sauce:
- 50 g tomato paste
- ⅛ tsp vegetable stock powder
- ½ tsp dried parsley
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp maple syrup
Toppings:
- 30 g light/reduced fat cheese
- 15 g pepperoni slices
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 200ºC.
- Make the crust by combining the flour, salt, yogurt and olive oil. Fold until it starts to form a dough. I would recommend going in with your hands at this point to form it into a circle.
- Transfer the dough to a flat surface, sprinkle with a little flour and roll out to form a 8-10 inch circle. Transfer the rolled out dough onto a round pizza tray lined with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Make the sauce by mixing together the tomato paste, seasonings and maple syrup until well combined. If you prefer a thinner pizza sauce, add a little water until you reach your desired consistency.
- Spread the sauce on the dough leaving a little space around the edges. Top with the shredded cheese and pepperoni. Place in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing and tucking in!
Notes
