Let’s get one thing straight — most “healthy” pizza recipes online are downright tragic. You’ve seen them: cauliflower bases that taste like sadness, tortilla wraps pretending to be crust, or low-carb disasters that don’t even crisp up properly.

At Protein Mafia, we don’t believe in fake food. If it doesn’t taste like real pizza, it’s not going on your plate. This is a high-protein pizza that hits your macros and your cravings. Built on real dough, loaded with real flavour, and absolutely packed with protein — no gimmicks.

🍕 Greek Yoghurt Pizza Dough (The Game-Changer)

No yeast, no long rise times, no faff — just two ingredients, plus seasoning, and you’ve got a proper base that bakes golden, chewy, and delicious.

Ingredients (makes one pizza base):

• 115g plain flour

• 115g non-fat Greek yoghurt

• 15g baking powder

• Seasonings (optional but recommended):

  • Garlic granules

  • Onion granules

  • Mixed herbs

  • Salt & pepper

Method:

1. Add the flour to a large mixing bowl.

2. Mix in your seasonings and baking powder.

3. Stir in the Greek yoghurt and combine until it forms a dough.

4. Let it rest for 10–15 minutes (optional, but helps with texture).

5. Lightly flour your surface and rolling pin. Roll out the dough into a circle — thick crust, thin crust, up to you.

6. Keep flipping and flouring as you roll to prevent sticking.

7. Fancy it up? Rough up the crust, fold in some cheese for a stuffed crust, or brush the edges with sauce.

Tip:
If the dough is too dry, add a teaspoon of yoghurt. If it’s too sticky, dust in more flour until it handles easily.

🍅 Sauce & Cheese – Keep It Lean, Keep It Powerful

Spread 50g–100g of tomato purée over your base and season it again — garlic powder, basil, oregano, black pepper, chilli flakes — go wild.

For the cheese, we went with Eatlean cheese, which makes this pizza a serious protein weapon:

• 172 kcal per 100g

• 36g protein per 100g

We used 140g, and here’s why — it’s more effective than most protein powders for muscle-building, and still melts beautifully.

🥩 Add Toppings That Actually Belong on Pizza

We don’t do sad toppings here. Add some sliced chicken breast for lean gains, or go all-in with a high-protein meat feast.

Great topping options:

• Grilled chicken

• Lean steak strips or beef mince

• Turkey pepperoni or turkey bacon

• Chorizo or pastrami (if you’re bulking)

• Extra cheese, or even a sprinkle of protein powder mixed into your sauce or base

Pro tip:
Keep it lean for cutting, or load it up if you’re bulking. You can easily push this pizza past 100g of protein without it turning into a greasy mess.
