High-Protein Cottage Cheese Pizza 🍕
Enjoy a delicious and healthy pizza with a unique high-protein cottage cheese crust. Perfect for a quick and satisfying meal!
Ingredients
Cottage Cheese Crust
- ¾ cup cottage cheese (blended for a smooth crust)
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup whole wheat flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Pizza Toppings
- pizza sauce your favorite
- vegetables your choice
- meats your choice
- shredded cheese generous sprinkle
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper – this is key to prevent sticking!
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the blended cottage cheese, egg, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt until you have a smooth, well-combined batter.
- Carefully spoon the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread it into an even circle, roughly ¼ inch thick. Don't make it too thin!
- Bake the crust for 13-15 minutes, until it's beautifully golden around the edges and set.
- Remove the pre-baked crust from the oven. Now, it's time to get creative! Spread your favorite pizza sauce, then layer on your choice of veggies, meats, and a generous sprinkle of cheese.
- Return the pizza to the oven for another 7-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
- Let your delicious pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and enjoying! This helps everything set perfectly.
