Recipe Cost $ $3.49 Serving Cost $ $0.87This high-protein Cottage Cheese Pizza Crust is crispy on the edges, cheesy in the center, and incredibly easy to make. With just a handful of simple ingredients, you can whip up a pizza crust that’s delicious, gluten-free, and packed with protein.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese small curd
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup gluten-free flour
- 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat and prep
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Blend the base
- In a blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese and eggs until completely smooth.
Mix the crust
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese mixture with the flour, parmesan cheese, baking powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Stir until fully combined. The mixture will resemble a thick pancake batter.
Shape and bake
- Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in a circle about ¼ inch thick.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden.
Top and finish
- Once your crust is baked, you can top it with sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings. For step-by-step instructions on making a whole pizza with this crust, check out my Cottage Cheese Pizza Recipe.
Notes
- Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Warm in a 375°F oven for 5–7 minutes, or air-fry until crisp.
- Freeze: Bake the crust alone, then freeze for up to 2 months. Add toppings and bake when ready to serve.
