Ingredients

Scale

Crust Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup almond flour (or all-purpose flour)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and help with even baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients and Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  3. Add Flour Gradually: Slowly add the almond flour into the wet mixture while stirring continuously to form a thick, spreadable batter.
  4. Shape the Crust: Spread the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a circular pizza crust to your desired thickness.
  5. Bake the Crust: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is firm and has a golden color.
  6. Add Toppings and Finish Baking: Remove the crust from the oven, add your preferred pizza toppings, then return it to the oven to bake further as needed until cheese is melted and toppings are cooked.

Notes

  • Almond flour can be substituted with all-purpose flour if not avoiding gluten.
  • Ensure the batter is thick enough to spread and hold its shape; adjust flour quantity slightly if needed.
  • After baking the crust, add toppings quickly to maintain its crispiness.
  • This crust is high in protein, making it a great option for a fulfilling meal.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make clean-up easier.
