Description
A high-protein, quick alternative to traditional pizza dough made with cottage cheese, eggs, and mozzarella.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cottage Cheese (Can be low-fat or regular)
- 2 large Eggs (No substitutes recommended)
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella (Part-skim or dairy-free alternatives optional)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (Customize with herbs as desired)
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning (Blends classic pizza herbs)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease the paper.
- In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese and eggs. Blend until very smooth.
- Transfer the blended mixture into a bowl. Add shredded mozzarella, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Stir until combined into a thick batter.
- Spread the batter onto the parchment paper in a circle about 8–10 inches wide and roughly 1/4-inch thick.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the center looks set.
- Remove the crust from the oven and add sauce, cheese, and toppings as desired.
- Return to the oven and bake an additional 6–10 minutes, until toppings are heated through and cheese is melted.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
Drain excess moisture from the cottage cheese for a firmer crust. A smooth blend improves texture. Spread the batter evenly for consistent baking.
