Create a high-protein, low-carb pizza base using just three simple ingredients. This recipe delivers a sturdy, satisfying crust perfect for your favorite weeknight pizza toppings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese, drained well
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for a lower carb option)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the drained cottage cheese, egg, and flour into a food processor or blender. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth. You should have a thick batter consistency.
  3. Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread the mixture into a circle or rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
  4. Bake the crust for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown and the center is set.
  5. Remove the crust from the oven. Add your desired pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings.
  6. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Slice and serve immediately for a crispy, high-protein pizza alternative.

Notes

  • Draining the cottage cheese thoroughly is key to preventing a soggy crust. Press out excess moisture using a fine-mesh sieve or paper towels.
  • For an air fryer method, cook the crust at 370°F (188°C) for about 8-10 minutes before adding toppings, then cook for another 3-5 minutes.
  • This crust is naturally gluten-free if you substitute the all-purpose flour with almond flour or oat flour.
