  • Author: OliviaBennett

Description

This personal-sized pizza is the ultimate weeknight win: tangy buffalo chicken, melty cheese, and a crispy, protein-packed 2-ingredient dough that comes together in about 15 minutes. Healthy, bold, and absolutely satisfying!


Ingredients

  • ½ cup self-rising flour (or ½ cup all-purpose + ¾ tsp baking powder + pinch of salt)

  • ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or non-fat, add more as needed)

  • ⅓–½ cup shredded low-fat mozzarella

  • ½ cup cooked buffalo chicken (shredded rotisserie chicken tossed in buffalo sauce)

  • Optional sides: Greek yogurt + ranch seasoning dip, carrot & cucumber sticks

Flavor Twists:

  • BBQ Chicken: Swap buffalo sauce for BBQ, top with red onion & cilantro.

  • Greek-Style: Garlic-herb yogurt sauce, spinach, diced tomato, olives, feta.

  • Everything Bagel: Mix everything bagel seasoning into the dough, top with smoked salmon & cream cheese.

  • Veggie Lover: Mushrooms, bell peppers, red onion; brush crust with olive oil & garlic.

  • Breakfast Pizza: Scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, cheddar.


Instructions

  1. Make the Dough:

    • In a medium bowl, combine flour and Greek yogurt. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. Adjust with extra yogurt or flour as needed.

    • Knead 10–15 times until smooth.

  2. Shape the Crust:

    • Roll out dough on a floured surface to ~¼ inch thick. Transfer to parchment paper for easy handling.

  3. Pre-Cook the Crust:

    • Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

    • Place dough with parchment in the basket. Air fry 5–7 min until lightly golden.

  4. Top Your Pizza:

    • Sprinkle half the cheese on the crust. Add buffalo chicken, then remaining cheese.

  5. Final Cook:

    • Return to air fryer for 3–4 min until cheese melts, bubbly, and slightly golden.

  6. Serve:

    • Slide pizza onto a board, let rest 1 min. Slice and serve with optional veggie sticks and yogurt dip.

Notes

  • Sticky Dough? Sprinkle extra flour and knead gently.

  • Oven Option: 425°F, pre-bake 7–8 min, then bake with toppings 5–7 min.

  • Make Ahead: Dough can be stored in fridge 3 days, bring to room temp before rolling.

  • Leftovers: Store in fridge 2 days, reheat in air fryer 2–3 min.
