Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Stir well.
  3. Fold in the low-fat Greek yogurt and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Transfer the shaggy dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
  5. Divide the dough into eight equal pieces and roll each into a 6-inch oval shape.
  6. Add 15 grams of pizza sauce and 20 grams of low-fat cheese to one half of each oval and leave a ½-inch border.
  7. Fold the other half over the filled side and crimp the edges tightly with a fork.
  8. Place the sealed Hot Pockets on the tray and bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Cool for 5 minutes before serving, optionally with marinara sauce for dipping.
