½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
¼ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp onion powder
For the Topping:

Prepare the Dough:
In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Add Greek yogurt and knead until a smooth dough forms. Rest the dough for about 10 minutes.

Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
