Ingredients
- Nonfat Plain Greek Yogurt: 1 cup
- Self-Rising Flour: 1 cup
- Low-Sodium Pizza Sauce: 1/4 cup
- Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese (shredded): 1/2 cup
- Mini Turkey Beef Pepperoni: 1/4 cup
- Everything Bagel Seasoning: 1 tablespoon
- Large Egg White: 1
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and self-rising flour, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
- Step 2: Lightly flour a clean surface and briefly knead the dough (about 1 minute) until smooth. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each into a small ball. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet.
- Step 3: Flatten each dough ball slightly and use your thumb or the back of a spoon to create a small, deep indent (a "well") in the center of each piece.
- Step 4: Whisk the egg white and brush it lightly over the edges of the bagel bites, then sprinkle the egg-washed edges with the Everything Bagel Seasoning. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce into the center well of each bite.
- Step 5: Top the sauce with the shredded mozzarella cheese and scatter the mini turkey beef pepperoni over the cheese.
- Step 6: Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the dough is cooked through and the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the edges are golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- To store, ensure the bites are fully cooled before placing them in an airtight container; they will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For the best texture, reheat leftover bites in an air fryer at 300°F for about 5 minutes to restore the crispiness lost during refrigeration.
- Elevate your snack time by serving these warm bites with a refreshing dipping side, like low-fat ranch dressing or a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
- Chef's Tip: If your dough is too wet after mixing (due to varying Greek yogurt thickness), incorporate an extra teaspoon of self-rising flour at a time until the dough forms a smooth, non-sticky ball ready for shaping.
