Healthy Alfredo Pizza

I am sure most of you have caught on to the two ingredient dough rage by now. Since nonfat Greek yogurt is a zero point food on Weight Watchers, we can now have a dough that is very very low in points. The only points come from the flour used, and when spread across all of the servings it makes, it comes out to minimal points. This two ingredient can be used for bagels, sandwich bread, and even pizza. Healthy Alfredo pizza is just that – delicious low point toppings added to this low point dough.

 

The two basic ingredients are self-rising flour and nonfat plain Greek yogurt. From there, you just add the seasonings that sound good to you. If you have a craving for an Everything bagel, add Everything But The Bagel seasoning to your dough. The creativity with this dough is endless. To keep this healthy alfredo pizza healthy, the alfredo sauce is also made with nonfat Greek yogurt. And it tastes way better than you might think! One reason I love this healthy Alfredo pizza is you can have ½ of it as your serving and still not blow your points out of the water. It’s a quick, easy weeknight meal that you and the family will love. 

Three reasons why you need to make this recipe!

Who doesn’t love pizza? 

With how healthy this pizza is, you can make it over and over with no guilt over blowing your diet. Make it for your next movie night, so you can join in on the pizza with the family. 

You can get creative with it. 

Don’t like spinach or chicken on your pizza? That’s okay – add your own healthy toppings! Make it how you like it. After all, that’s what a pizza is for. 

It will help you stay on track with your Weight Watchers diet. 

Cravings are the one thing that derails most people. Instead of resisting all ideas of pizza, you can just use this recipe to make it fit your goals. 

Ingredients you need to make Healthy Alfredo Pizza: 

FOR THE DOUGH

• ½ cup self rising flour 
• ½ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt

FOR THE ALFREDO SAUCE

• 1 teaspoon light butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons skim milk
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon finely grated parmesan cheese
• Dash salt and pepper
• 3 tablespoons nonfat plain Greek yogurt

PIZZA TOPPINGS

• 4 oz cooked, shredded chicken (or more if you prefer!) 
• Fresh spinach (I used baby spinach)
• ¼ cup (16g) shredded asiago cheese 
• Sprinkle of Italian seasoning 

How to make Healthy Alfredo Pizza (step by step): 

1. Preheat the oven to 375F.
2. Make the pizza dough by mixing the ½ cup of self rising flour with ½ cup of yogurt. Sprinkle a little flour on a flat surface and knead the dough for 2 minutes.
3. Roll out the dough on a sprayed piece of parchment paper. I made my crust more on the thin side for this pizza, but you can roll it to however thick you like. Pre-bake the dough in the oven for 12 minutes.
4. While the pizza dough is baking, make the alfredo sauce. Melt the 1 teaspoon butter in the microwave. Stir in the milk and the garlic powder. Return it to the microwave, and heat for 30 seconds. Then stir in the parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and whisk in the yogurt. It should give you a creamy sauce.
5. Spread the sauce over the pre-baked pizza dough leaving the edges clear.
6. Top with the spinach, shredded chicken, asiago cheese, and seasoning.
7. Bake it in the oven for approx 14-16 minutes.
8. Serve immediately. I cut mine into 6 pieces, but you can make it as many as you like!

Different ways to change up this recipe: 

• Turkey pepperoni, black olives, and roasted garlic is a fantastic pizza option. Blue cheese crumbles with the chicken would also work well. It’s really up to you and what you like! 
• My zero point ranch is a good dipping sauce for this pizza. And all the Greek yogurt throughout is adding to your protein intake! 

Tips and Tricks for Making Healthy Alfredo Pizza: 

• Start with a little less than ½ cup of the nonfat Greek yogurt. I find that a full ½ cup makes the dough just a bit too sticky. You can always add more if you find that it needs it. 
• Kneading the dough is a very important step to get the right texture. It develops the gluten in the flour and gives you a tender pizza crust that’s strong enough to hold all the toppings. Without kneading the dough, you’ll have a tough, flimsy dough.
