  • Chef knife
  • 14" pizza pan
  • mixing bowl
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • silicon pastry or basting brush

Ingredients  

Crust

  • c King Arthur 00 pizza flour
  • 2 tbsp King Arthur 00 pizza flour for dusting hands & dough
  • 1 c plain non fat yogurt, thickened for 30 min
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda

Pizza

  • 4 tsp fat free feta cheese crumbles
  • 1 can quartered artichoke hearts, 14 oz. can
  • c roasted red peppers
  • 3-4 slices onion
  • c 2% fat shredded mozzarella
  • c fat free shredded mozzarella
  • garlic powder
  • olive oil spray
  • Pam

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400℉.

Making the Crust

  • Spray a 14" pizza pan with Pam. Use a napkin or piece of paper towel and smear the Pam over the entire surface of the pizza pan. Set aside
  • Place the plain non fat yogurt into a coffee filter lined strainer set inside of another bowl and let it sit for 30 min. Excess whey will drain away and the yogurt will thicken a bit.
  • Place the flour, baking powder, baking soda and yogurt into a large mixing bowl. Use a fork to mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. Flour your hands and pick up the dough. Dust the dough with a light sprinkle of flour. Use your hands and form the dough into a disc.
  • Place the disc of dough into the center of the pizza pan. Flour your hands as necessary and begin to press the dough, working from the center out until the dough has been stretched to cover the entire bottom of the pizza pan, edge to edge.
  • Place the crust in the oven and bake for 8-10 min. You are looking for the pizza crust to be a light golden color. Par-baking the crust will ensure it is not soggy after the toppings are added.

Making the Pizza

  • While the crust is baking, drain the roasted red peppers on a paper towel and then cut it into strips. Cut the onion slices into quarter and separate into rings.
  • Drain the can of quartered artichoke hearts. Rinse the artichoke hearts under cold water and then press out as much liquid as you can. Chop the artichoke hearts into chunks.
  • When the crust is done remove it from the oven. Lightly spritz the crust with olive oil spray. Use a silicon pastry brush and spread the spritzed olive oil over the entire surface of the crust. Sprinkle garlic powder over the entire surface of the crust.
  • Spread the chopped artichoke hearts over the pizza crust. Then spread the roasted red peppers and onions over the artichoke heart layer.
  • Sprinkle the fat free feta crumbles over the top of the pizza.
  • Toss the 2% fat shredded mozzarella and the fat free shredded mozzarella together on a plate. Spread the mozzarella over the top of the pizza.
  • Place the pizza back into the preheated oven and bake at 400℉ for 10 - 17 min until the cheese is melted and starts to lightly brown in spots and the edges of the crust are golden brown. Remove the pizza from the oven and let rest for 5 min so the cheese sets up.
  • Slice the pizza into eighths, serve and enjoy. Refrigerate leftovers.
