Ingredients

For The Pizza Crust

3/4 cup cottage cheese fat-free, low-fat, or full-fat
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

For The Pizza

1/3 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
3/4 cup shredded light Mozzarella cheese
optional pizza toppings, customized to your liking

Instructions

Make self-rising flour by mixing the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
Add the cottage cheese to the bowl. Then, mix the cottage cheese into the flour mixture.
Use your hands to thoroughly knead the flour and cottage cheese until you have dough. Roll the dough into a ball.
Generously flour a work surface and the dough ball on top so it doesn’t stick when rolling. After that, use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a thin, round, 13-inch pizza crust.
Lightly spray a 13-inch pizza pan with oil. Then, transfer the pizza crust to the pizza pan. Next, add the sauce, cheese, and optional toppings. Bake the pizza at 425°F for 10-12 minutes. After that, let the pizza slightly cool, slice it, and enjoy!

Notes

Knead The Dough: Thoroughly knead the flour and cottage cheese to form the dough.
Crust: Don’t spread the sauce over the entire pizza, leave some room for a visible pizza crust.
Adjust: You can adjust the amount of sauce and cheese you add to the pizza crust to taste. Make your favorite pizza with this cottage cheese pizza crust.
Self-Rising Flour: If you have self-rising flour on hand, just use that in this recipe to combine with the cottage cheese. However, if you don’t have self-rising flour, make your own by mixing flour with baking powder and salt, as we specified for this recipe.
Storage: Place leftovers in an airtight container or wrap them with foil. Then, store them in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. Reheat them in the air fryer or oven before serving again.
