Make a high-protein, low-carb pizza crust using only three simple ingredients. This recipe delivers a sturdy base that is fluffy inside with lightly crisp edges, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese, drained
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup almond flour (or all-purpose flour for non-low-carb)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Drain excess liquid from the cottage cheese. Place the drained cottage cheese, eggs, and almond flour into a food processor or blender.
  3. Process 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 to spread the mixture into a circle or rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
  5. Bake the crust for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden brown.
  6. Remove the crust from the oven. Add your preferred sauce, cheese, and toppings.
  7. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

  • If you do not have a food processor, you can vigorously whisk the ingredients together in a bowl until smooth.
  • For a crispier crust, bake the crust plain for 10 minutes before adding toppings.
  • This crust works well in an air fryer; cook at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10-12 minutes, then top and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
  • Use low-fat cottage cheese for the best texture, but full-fat works if you drain it very well.
