Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Gradually fold in the low-fat Greek yogurt until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Divide the dough into eight equal sections and roll each into an oval shape, about 6 inches long.
  5. Place about 15g of pizza sauce and 20g of low-fat cheese on one half of each dough oval, leaving a ½-inch border.
  6. Fold the dough over the filling to create a pocket and seal the edges with a fork.
  7. Arrange the pockets on the baking tray and bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Once baked, cool the pockets on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving.
