This 3 ingredient Cottage Cheese Pizza Crust is so easy, tastes like real thin crust pizza and contains 11 grams of protein per 2 slices!

PREPARATION TIME:

Prep Time:10 minutes 
Cook Time:20 minutes 
Total Time:40 minutes 

Ingredients :

1 cup + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour or gluten free flour more for dusting

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 cup cottage cheese

1/3 cup marinara sauce

1 cup cheese

Instructions :

In a large bowl, add flour and baking powder; whisk well to combine.
Add cottage cheese and stir with spatula to combine, then proceed to mix with your hands until a ball of dough forms. Knead it about 20 times. Dough should be not sticky but not dry. Cover with a towel and let rest for 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Place dough on a floured surface and roll into a pizza shape with rolling pin as thin as possible, while still fitting on your baking surface. Roll crust onto a rolling pin, transfer onto a baking sheet or pizza stone and unroll.
Bake pizza crust for 5 minutes, then top with marinara sauce, your favorite toppings and cheese, and bake for another 15-18 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Gluten free crust will require less baking time.
Remove from the oven, cut into 8 slices and serve.

Notes:

Store: Store pizza leftovers tightly wrapped in plastic in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in air fryer or microwave.

Freeze: Freeze the dough wrapped in a few layers of plastic wrap and placed in a resealable bag. Thaw on a counter for a few hours or in the fridge overnight and then bake as per recipe. You can also freeze pre-baked pizza crust for 5 minutes and then thaw, add toppings and bake as per recipe.

Gluten free pizza crust: Because gluten-free flour doesn’t contain gluten, it isn’t stretchy and your crust will break during moving. Place a ball of dough onto a parchment paper, roll into a crust and transfer by holding onto the flaps of paper onto a baking sheet or pizza stone.
