Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your 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.
  3. Gradually fold in low-fat Greek yogurt until a shaggy dough begins to form.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a 6-inch oval.
  6. On one half of each oval, place 15g of pizza sauce and 20g of low-fat cheese, leaving a ½-inch border.
  7. Fold each dough oval over the filling, sealing the edges tightly with a fork.
  8. Bake the sealed pockets on the prepared tray for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Cool the pockets for 5 minutes before serving.
