Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Mix all-purpose flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt in a mixing bowl until evenly combined.
  3. Slowly fold in the low-fat Greek yogurt to the dry mixture until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each into a 6-inch oval.
  6. On one half of each oval, spoon approximately 15g of pizza sauce and sprinkle 20g of cheese, leaving a ½-inch border.
  7. Fold the dough over to cover the fillings and press the edges firmly together to seal.
  8. Bake the sealed hot pockets on the lined tray for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  9. Let the hot pockets cool on the tray for about 5 minutes before serving warm, optionally with marinara sauce.
