July Pinterest Challenge-- Weight Watcher Pizza Recipe

My husband and I both began Weight Watchers back at the very end of March and have had a lot of fun trying out various recipes we've found around the web.  So many of the ones we've tried have been a huge hit with the WHOLE family!  

I just love when I can one make recipe and it satisfies everyone.  This 2 ingredient pizza dough that is Weight Watchers Friendly at only 3 or so points a serving (for the crust) it was a huge hit. 

Let's meet this month's Pinterest Challenge hosts!

I mostly followed the instructions but had to adjust the recipe a tad for the ingredients we could find at our local stores and to make 6 personal sized pizzas.  

For the Dough:
1 1/2 cups plain, non-fat, Greek yogurt
1 1/2 cups self rising flour + extra for rolling out

Toppings:
1 can pizza sauce
1 package part skim shredded pizza cheese
1 package fat free mozzarella cheese
assorted toppings: we used turkey pepperoni, broccoli, and meatballs

In a medium bowl I combined the yogurt and flour until I had a nice smooth crust. 



Then I used a knife to cut the dough into 6 approximately equal portions.


I took out each triangle and rolled it out on a floured surface with my rolling pin; it makes a fairly thin crust and can be hard to get back up off the sheet onto the pan but in the end I thought the effort was completely worth the work.

I made sure I had parchment paper down on all my pans and put two pizzas each on a cookie sheet. When I had them all rolled out and on the pan I baked them in a preheated 450 degree oven for 5 minutes like the recipe stated.  I didn't notice them browning but could tell they had baked as the crusts shrank a bit and puffed up a little also.


I topped each pizza with 1/4 cup pizza sauce


Then I sprinkled 1/4 cup fat free cheese on each, added the toppings that each person requested and then finished each pizza off with 1/4 cup of the pizza cheese.



Then put them back in the oven for 10 more minutes.

A plain cheese pizza is just 7 points for the entire pizza and since most vegetables are zero points my broccoli and chicken pizza is also just 7 points!




The only one of these pizzas that was over 8 points was my oldest son's as he just LOVES his meatballs.  I didn't mind him eating a bit more than usual knowing the rest of the pizza was so much healthier than traditional homemade or restaurant style pizza.



I can't wait to try her recipe for one point cheesecake!

    1. I did too; I ended up having luck finding fat free shredded cheese at my local Walmart. So far I've only found the craft brand's mozzarella and cheddar... but I've learned to make do! :) Good luck!

  12. I've seen this yogurt crust before, but haven't tried it yet. Is it crispy? I'm so curious :-)

    1. It is crispy when rolled out for the crust; it gets crispy on the outside and is like sour dough bread on the inside for bagels, I've even used it to top pot pie before.

  13. The dough also makes a great flatbread but I would NEVER turn down pizza!

    1. Oh I bet it would! I have not thought of using it for flatbread. I'll have to try that this week with our sandwiches!

  15. I'm so curious how the dough tasted. My husband and I have very different opinions on what makes a good pizza. I love thin dough so this one intrigues me. What happens to the points if it's a white sauce? I'm thinking basil, chicken, tomatoes and garlic. Gosh...I'm so hungry for some pizza now, LOL.

    1. I don't know how many points white sauce is but I'm guessing quite a few since cheese and most dairy are definitely points. However, I have found that just about anything can be made at home for much lower points than going out!

  16. I cannot get over how amazing these pizzas look!

    1. I knew when my boys didn't bat an eye that I had revamped our weekly (now every other week) pizza tradition that I had a winner. They taste just like the "real" thing!
