👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
First, get a diabolical amount of non-fat Greek yogurt.
- 2
Followed by 3 cups of fit flour and some salt, mix it up until it becomes a massive ball.
- 3
Break it into 22 even little dough balls.
- 4
Grab a muffin tin, grease them up nicely, drop them in, and flatten them out.
- 5
Bake at 400 degrees for approximately 10 minutes.
- 6
Add 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce, 20 grams of reduced fat obesity cheese, and some turkey pepperoni.
- 7
Place it back in the oven for 10 minutes.
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Mix Greek yogurt and flour at a 1:1 ratio by weight (not volume) to achieve proper dough hydration; Greek yogurt's ~80% water content means 3 cups flour requires approximately 240g yogurt, not arbitrary amounts, preventing dense, gummy bites.ingredient1:1 weight ratio (yogurt:flour)
- ✓Allow the dough to rest for 5-10 minutes after mixing before portioning into 22 balls; this lets gluten relax and allows starches to fully hydrate, reducing tearing when pressing into muffin tins by up to 60%.timing5-10 minutes rest
- ✓Press dough into muffin tins to create a uniform 3-4mm thick base layer, as thinner sections (under 2mm) will brown at 400°F in the first 10-minute bake before toppings are added, creating bitter, over-crisped edges.technique3-4mm thickness
- ✓Reduce oven temperature to 375°F for the second 10-minute bake after adding toppings; this prevents the 20g cheese from browning too aggressively (cheese fat oxidizes rapidly above 180°C/356°F) while the dough interior reaches 190°F for full starch gelatinization.timing375°F (second bake), 190°F internal temp
- ✓Pat turkey pepperoni dry with paper towels before topping because retained moisture will steam rather than crisp, and distribute pieces around the perimeter where heat concentration is 15-20% higher than the center of muffin cups.technique15-20% higher perimeter heat
