Ingredients used

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup marinara sauce
1/2 cup mixed vegetables (bell peppers, onions, mushrooms)

1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup cottage cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation method

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

In a bowl, mix whole wheat flour, Greek yogurt, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt until a dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and transfer it to a baking sheet. Spread marinara sauce evenly over the crust, then layer with mozzarella cheese, cottage cheese, mixed vegetables, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and oregano.

Drizzle olive oil over the top and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
