Cottage Cheese Pizza Crust - Two Ways

This cottage cheese pizza crust- made two ways - is perfect if you're looking to add healthy fats to your diet while boosting your protein intake.

I first came across this recipe on TikTok, back when it went viral. It was perfect timing, as I was trying to get my weight back on track by adding more protein to my diet.

Since then, I’ve been experimenting with all sorts of protein-rich recipes, and when I saw this one making the rounds on social media, I knew I had to try it.

Of course, I couldn’t resist making it slightly differently, to see what worked best for me. Don’t get me wrong, the original flour-based version is still great, but I just had to try making it without flour as well!

So we are going to be making two crusts; one with flour, and the other one without. The no-flour version also happens to be keto-friendly.

cottage cheese pizza crust without flour

Line a baking tray with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, mozzarella cheese, oregano, and salt until well combined.

Transfer the mixture into a lined baking tray and bake for 20-25 minutes, until set.

Once baked, let the crust cool slightly for 5-10 minutes, flip it, then top it with pizza sauce, grated cheese and your favorite toppings.

Bake the pizza for 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted, garnish it, then serve.

This version uses all-purpose flour instead of cheese. To make it all you need to do is combine cottage cheese, eggs, all-purpose flour, oregano, and salt.

Next, allow the crust to cool, flip it, then top it with pizza sauce, cheese, and your favorite pizza toppings.

Bake until the cheese is melted to your liking. Garnish with some fresh basil, then serve.

Other great pizza cheeses

I used grated mozzarella cheese, but these other cheeses are also great for topping your pizza so feel free to use them if you like.

  • Provolone.
  • Cheddar.
  • Parmesan – use it as a topping after baking.
  • Gouda.

can I make the pizza crust in a baking tin?

I tested this recipe using both a baking sheet and a cake pan.

While the cake pan crust holds its shape better, mine turned out softer compared to the one baked on a baking sheet. It all comes down to preference, so don’t hesitate to use a cake pan if that’s what you prefer!

To make it in a cake pan, pour the batter into a greased 6-8 inch pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until set.
