Tonight was pizza night with my family and while they had regular crusts, I wanted to try out an alternate crust situation that was high in protein and allowed me to have more food throughout the day.
The result was a pizza crust that was more like a flatbread, but definitely did the trick, especially with really good macros. I’ll definitely use this in the future when I hit my calorie deficit/cut.
Cottage Cheese Pizza Crust 🍕 (High-Protein, Single Crust)
Ingredients • ½ cup cottage cheese • 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour • 1 large egg • ½ tsp Italian seasoning • ¼ tsp garlic powder • Sea salt & ground pepper, to taste
Instructions 1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix until fully combined and smooth. You can also blend everything together. 3. Spread the batter thinly onto the parchment into a round or oval shape (about ¼-inch thick). 4. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until the center is set and edges are lightly golden. 5. Remove from the oven and add toppings if desired, then return to bake until melted and bubbly. ⸻ Macros 175 calories Protein: 16.5 g Carbs: 10 g Fat: 8.5 g Fiber: 0.5 g
This is so great! The Great Value pizza of a similar size is 500 calories! Definitely going to try yours! Also, you might want to grab the great value one to compare if you ever do this recipe again, so people see how much better yours is – couldbt believe yours was 175 calories! Thank you!
