Not only is it delicious, but it’s easy to throw together, inexpensive, and like I said, a great way to use up leftover vegetables. And, this pizza dough recipe is a great way to get some extra protein in your day.
My goal with this high protein pizza dough recipe was to create a soft and chewy pizza dough that didn’t taste totally different from “regular” pizza dough.
This is also a yeasted dough, so you still want it to rise (happy home for yeast to do their work) so you get that fluffy bread texture.
High Protein Healthy Pizza W/ Chickpea Crust
This pizza dough recipe has around 41 grams of protein, making each serving (there are 4) a little over 10 grams of protein each. And that’s just the crust!
You can get a little more protein from mozzarella cheese or go dairy-free and use vegan parmesan made with nutritional yeast, which packs a pretty great protein count, too.
Other than the protein from the flour (I love a mix of all-purpose and whole wheat here) most of the protein comes from pea protein.
Easy Protein Pizza
You could probably use other protein powders, although I haven’t tried that. I prefer using pea protein for cooking/baking recipes because it only has one ingredient, and it has a very “plain’ flavor.”
You can use this dough recipe to make one large pizza (that could easily feed 4 adults), or you can divide the dough in half after it has risen and freeze the second half to use later.
The pizza you see pictured here is meant for 2 adults, but you can easily freeze the extra dough in a ziplock bag. Happy pizza making! xo. Emma

You can substitute a little more of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat, making the rations 3/4 cup to 1/2 cup with similar results if you want more whole grains.This protein pizza recipe has a dough made with protein flour and protein yogurt, which packs in over 20 grams of protein alone! Easy to make and tastes like any good pizza out there!
We love adding protein to some of our daily staples. We’ve done it with our morning bagels and our evening pasta.I recently tried the Quest protein pizza and while it was tasty, it was SUPER expensive. It also was such a tiny portion that I needed to make my own!

What I love about this recipe is that the dough actually tastes like real pizza dough which creates the most perfect pizza pie. There is no powdery aftertaste or thin tortilla-style crusts (I love myself a good low carb tortilla but it does NOT make a good pizza crust) and you can easily add tons of toppings!
Start by adding the flour, yogurt, salt, and Italian seasonings into a mixing bowl and mixing togehter until a smooth dough remains. If the dough is too sticky, add a little extra flour. If the dough is too thick, add a touch more yogurt.
Next, lightly flour a flat surface and transfer the dough on top. Using your hands, gently knead the dough several times, before rolling it out into a pizza shape.

Now, transfer the pizza dough onto a pizza tray or stone. Brush the crust with some olive oil, then spread some tomato sauce (pizza sauce) on top, followed by your favorite toppings. Bake the pizza in a preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the crust is golden brown. Remove the pizza from the oven, slice it up, and enjoy immediately.
Traditional pizza dough does not contain a significant amount of protein, usually 2-3 grams per dough. However, this dough has over 20 grams of protein in it, thanks to the flour and yogurt combination.
The Quest pizza range is high in protein, and most commercial pizzas contain protein in their toppings, especially if meat or extra cheeses are used.
