Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and flour. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Toss in the baking powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Mix together until well combined.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Spread pizza sauce in the center and sprinkle low-fat cheese over the top.
- Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal tightly, ensuring no filling is exposed.
- Place the hot pockets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
