Ingredients for Mini Deep Dish Pizza Bites

Self Rising Flour - If you are gluten sensitive you can swap with Doves Farm gluten free self raising flour and make a gluten free mini deep dish pizza.

Plain Greek Yogurt - I used the 5 % milk fat but you can use the 0 % as well.

Tomato Sauce - Rao's tomato basil was perfect for these homemade mini pizzas, but feel free to use your favorite pizza sauce.

Shredded Cheese - Part Skim Shredded Mozzarella works well for this recipe at only 3 WW points for one ounce. If you can find fat free mozzarella cheese that would be zero WW points.

Seasoning - Italian seasoning pairs perfect with pizza or fresh basil if you have that on hand.

How to Make Mini Pizza Bites

1: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Spray 4 cups of a 6 cup muffin pan with non stick spray.

2: To make your dough mix flour with yogurt in a large bowl. Evenly form into 4 balls, and place each one in a sprayed cup of the muffin pan. Press it into the bottom and sides, forming a bowl shape and add a dash of seasoning.

3: Bake until lightly golden brown and cooked through about 7-10 minutes.

4: Top with marinara sauce, cheese and Italian seasoning. Bake for an additional 3-5 minutes until melted and crispy. Ready to eat Mangia!!

Can I Make Keto Friends Pizza Bites?

Yes, you can make keto pizza bites by swapping the self raising flour with homemade keto self raising flour.

To make keto-friendly self-raising flour, you will need the following ingredients:

• 1 cup almond flour
• 2 tablespoons coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
• Use a sifter to sift the mixture several times to ensure it is well mixed and there are no lumps.
• Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and store in a cool, dry place until ready to use.

Note: This homemade keto self-raising flour can be used as a substitute for regular self-raising flour in any of your favorite keto baking recipes. However, keep in mind that it may behave slightly differently, so be prepared to experiment a bit to get the best results.
