Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for High Protein Pizza Hot Pockets
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Stir until mixed. Fold in the low-fat Greek yogurt until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into an oval shape, about 6 inches long.
  5. On one half of each oval, place about 15g of pizza sauce and 20g of low-fat cheese, leaving a ½-inch border around the edge.
  6. Fold the dough over, aligning the edges, and press together. Crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
  7. Place the pockets on the baking tray and bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Let cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy with marinara sauce for dipping if desired.
