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 mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Stir thoroughly. Gradually incorporate Greek yogurt, mixing until a shaggy ball forms. Knead on a floured surface for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Divide dough into 8 portions and roll each into an oval shape about 6 inches long.
  4. On one half of each oval, spoon in pizza sauce and top with low-fat cheese, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.
  5. Fold the dough over the filling and press down the edges with a fork to seal tightly.
  6. Place sealed pockets on the baking tray and bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Let the pizza hot pockets cool for about 5 minutes before serving warm, optionally pairing with marinara sauce for dipping.
