Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 1 ½ cup Whole Wheat Flour
- 2 ¼ teaspoon Baking Powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 1 - 1 ¼ cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
Toppings:
- ½ cup Hummus
- ¼ cup Roasted Red Peppers, diced
- ¼ cup Feta Cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoon Kalamata Olives, chopped
- 1 small Tomato, sliced
For the Salad:
- 3 cups Chopped Romaine Lettuce
- 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoon Red Wine Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
- 1 Garlic clove, minced
- ⅔ teaspoon Dijon Mustard
- ⅔ teaspoon Oregano
- ⅔ teaspoon Basil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make the dough: Combine whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the yogurt until the mixture becomes crumbly.
- Sprinkle a little flour on a flat work surface, and turn out the dough.
- Knead the dough for a few minutes until it comes together and becomes uniform. If it seems too sticky, add a little more flour. If the dough won’t hold together add a little more yogurt.
- Roll out the dough into a 12 inch round, and place on the back of a large baking sheet, cookie sheet, or pizza stone.
- Brush the dough with a little olive oil.
- Spread the hummus on the dough, coming about an inch from the edge.
- Add the rest of the toppings as desired.
- Bake for 18-25 minutes, until the crust is evenly browned, and cooked through.
- While the pizza bakes, make the salad: Place the chopped romaine in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients, and pour over the lettuce. Use tongs to mix the dressing with the lettuce.
- Remove the pizza when baked. Allow to rest for about 5 minutes.
- Slice into 8 slices, and top with the salad. Serve immediately.
