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 all-purpose flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Stir until blended. Add the low-fat Greek yogurt and mix until a dough forms. Knead gently for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Divide the dough into 8 equal balls and flatten each into a 6-inch oval.
  4. Spoon pizza sauce onto one half of the dough oval, leaving a ½-inch border. Sprinkle with low-fat cheese.
  5. Fold the dough over the filling, pressing edges firmly together. Dab a little water along edges if necessary.
  6. Place the assembled pockets on the baking tray and bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
