Description

This easy 3-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Pizza Crust recipe offers a low-carb and protein-packed alternative to traditional pizza crust. Made with just cottage cheese, eggs, and almond flour, it’s perfect for a quick homemade pizza that bakes up crispy and golden. Ideal for keto enthusiasts or anyone looking for a healthier pizza base, the crust is simple to prepare and ready in just over half an hour.

Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Crust

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup almond flour (substitute oat flour for a non-keto option)

Suggested Toppings

  • Your favorite pizza toppings (cheese, tomato sauce, vegetables, meats, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Prepare the Batter: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, and almond flour. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and uniform, which will form the base of your pizza crust.
  3. Shape the Crust: Pour the blended mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread it evenly into a round or rectangular shape about 1/4 inch thick to create a thin, crispy crust.
  4. Bake the Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until it is golden brown and feels firm to the touch, indicating it’s fully cooked.
  5. Add Toppings and Finish Baking: Remove the crust from the oven, add your favorite pizza toppings, then return it to the oven for another 8 to 10 minutes to melt the toppings and complete cooking.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your homemade cottage cheese pizza crust.

Notes

  • Use almond flour for a keto-friendly crust or oat flour for a non-keto alternative.
  • Make sure not to spread the batter too thick to ensure the crust bakes evenly and crisps up well.
  • Let the crust cool slightly after baking to help it firm up and make slicing easier.
  • Try different toppings to customize your pizza to your taste preferences.
