Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Whisk until blended, then fold in the Greek yogurt to form a shaggy dough.
  3. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Divide the dough into 8 portions, rolling each into a 6-inch oval.
  5. Spoon 15 grams of pizza sauce and sprinkle 20 grams of cheese on one half of each oval, leaving a ½-inch border.
  6. Fold over the dough to seal the pockets, crimping the edges with a fork.
  7. Bake the pockets for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Let the pockets cool for 5 minutes before serving.
