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

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese, drained well
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for keto/gluten-free)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Drain the cottage cheese thoroughly. Place the drained cottage cheese, egg, flour, and optional seasonings into a food processor or blender.
  3. Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth and resembles a thick batter. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  4. Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the mixture into a circle or rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
  5. Bake the crust for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden.
  6. Remove the crust from the oven. Add your desired pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings.
  7. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a crispier crust, bake the crust plain for 10 minutes before adding toppings.
  • If you do not have a food processor, you can press the cottage cheese through a fine-mesh sieve before mixing by hand with the other ingredients.
  • For an Air Fryer Cottage Cheese Pizza Crust, cook the plain crust at 370°F (188°C) for 8-10 minutes, then add toppings and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
