Dive into a flavorful and satisfying experience with this Pepperoni Pizza Bubble-Up, a delightful twist on the classic pizza that’s both easy to make and friendly to your PersonalPoints™ on the Weight Watchers program. With a total time investment of 40 minutes, including 30 minutes of baking, this recipe serves 6 and is perfect for sharing or enjoying leftovers throughout the week.
To begin, preheat your oven to 375°F and prepare a 10-inch cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet by spraying it with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine white self-rising flour, garlic powder, and black pepper. Add plain fat-free Greek yogurt to the dry ingredients, stirring well with a wooden spoon until just combined. Continue mixing the dough in the bowl with your hands until it becomes smooth, which should take approximately 2 minutes of kneading.
Next, roll the dough into 1-tablespoon balls, arranging them in a single layer in the prepared skillet. Don’t worry if there are some open spaces in the pan; the dough will rise and fill them during baking. Evenly spoon jarred fat-free marinara sauce over the dough balls, and then sprinkle about two-thirds of the shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese over the top.
Now, it’s time to add the flavorful toppings. Distribute small canned black ripe olive slices and thinly sliced turkey pepperoni over the cheese layer. Finish by sprinkling the remaining one-third of the mozzarella cheese over the toppings. This layering ensures a well-balanced and delicious pizza experience.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake at 375°F for approximately 30 minutes or until the dough is fully cooked and the cheese becomes bubbly and starts to brown. The result is a golden, gooey, and flavorful Pepperoni Pizza Bubble-Up that’s ready to be sliced and served.
Each serving size, equivalent to 1/6th of the skillet, offers a satisfying and PersonalPoints™-friendly portion. With the interactive combination of the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt, this recipe provides a convenient and lighter alternative to traditional pizza dough while preserving the beloved pizza flavors.
Whether enjoyed as a cozy weeknight dinner or a fun weekend treat, this Pepperoni Pizza Bubble-Up is a versatile and family-friendly addition to your culinary repertoire. Embrace the comforting essence of pizza without compromising your wellness goals with this easy-to-make and delicious bubble-up creation.
