A high-protein, low-calorie cheesy garlic pizza made with protein-rich dough, part-skim mozzarella, and a creamy garlic spread. Perfect for a lighter comfort meal or post-workout dinner with over 30 grams of protein per serving.

Ingredients

  • 1 high-protein pizza dough ball (about 12 oz, made with high-protein flour or Greek yogurt-based dough)
  • 1 cup (112 g) part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/3 cup (75 g) low-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Olive oil spray (light coating)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
  2. Roll or press the high-protein dough into a thin, even circle or rectangle.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the low-fat cream cheese, minced garlic, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  4. Spread the garlic cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Sprinkle shredded part-skim mozzarella evenly over the top.
  6. Lightly spray the crust edges with olive oil spray.
  7. Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove from oven, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Add grilled chicken breast for extra protein.
  • Blend cottage cheese as a substitute for cream cheese.
  • Pre-bake the crust for 3–4 minutes for extra crispiness.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or skillet to maintain crisp texture.
  • Freeze baked slices for up to 2 months.
