Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
For the Filling:
- 3/4 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tbsp fat-free cream cheese
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Coating:
- 1 egg white, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (whole wheat or Panko)
- 1/4 tsp paprika (optional, for added flavor)
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- In a medium bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 3–4 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and set aside.
Make the Filling
- In a small bowl, mix mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Scoop about 1 teaspoon of the filling for each bite.
Stuff the Dough
- Flatten each dough portion into a small circle.
- Place a teaspoon of filling in the center and gently wrap the dough around the filling, pinching the edges to seal.
- Roll into a smooth ball and repeat for all bites.
Coat the Bites
- Dip each stuffed ball into the egg white, then roll in breadcrumbs mixed with paprika for added flavor.
Bake or Air-Fry
- Oven Method: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 15–18 minutes or until golden brown.
- Air-Fryer Method: Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (180°C). Spray the basket with cooking spray and air-fry the bites for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Serve
Let the bites cool slightly and serve warm with a side of marinara sauce or a light ranch dip for dunking.
