This Cottage Cheese Pizza Crust recipe offers a deliciously light and protein-packed alternative to traditional pizza dough. Using cottage cheese and almond flour, it creates a tender, flavorful base that’s easy to make and perfect for those seeking a low-carb, gluten-free pizza option. Seasoned with garlic powder and Italian herbs, this crust bakes to a golden crisp, ready to be topped with your favorite pizza ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 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 the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients and Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until well blended to create a flavorful base for the crust.
  3. Add Flour and Form Batter: Gradually mix in the almond flour, stirring continuously until a thick batter forms that holds together well but is spreadable.
  4. Shape Crust: Spread the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it carefully into a circular pizza crust about a quarter-inch thick for even baking.
  5. Bake Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until it is firm, set, and lightly golden around the edges.
  6. Add Toppings and Bake Further: Remove the crust from the oven, add your desired pizza toppings, and if needed, return the pizza to bake until the toppings are cooked and cheese melted to perfection.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free crust, use almond flour as specified; otherwise, all-purpose flour works.
  • You can customize the seasoning by adding herbs like oregano or basil for extra flavor.
  • Ensure batter is spread evenly to avoid uneven cooking.
  • This crust is best consumed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleaning.
