In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, Greek yogurt, baking powder, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
Step 3
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead lightly for about 2 to 3 minutes until smooth.
Step 4
Roll the dough out into a circle approximately 25 cm (10 inches) in diameter and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 5
Brush the rolled-out dough with olive oil to prevent sogginess.

Spread tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small edge for the crust.
Step 7
Place slices of mozzarella cheese evenly across the top of the tomato sauce.
Step 8
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Slice and serve the high protein pizza while hot.
