Are you looking for a unique twist on traditional pizza crusts? This Cottage Cheese Pizza Crust recipe offers a delicious, high-protein alternative that's easy to make and brings an unexpected creamy flavor. By combining cottage cheese with simple ingredients like flour, vegetable oil, and eggs, you can create a delectable base for your favorite pizza toppings.
Instructions:
In a medium mixing bowl, add 1 cup of low-fat cottage cheese. Use a blender or a hand mixer to blend the cottage cheese until it's smooth and creamy. This step helps to ensure a smoother texture for the crust.
Crack 3 eggs into the bowl with the blended cottage cheese. Whisk the mixture together until fully combined. The eggs will help to bind the crust ingredients together.
Gradually add 1/3 cup of all-purpose white wheat flour to the cottage cheese and egg mixture. Stir continuously to avoid lumps. Aim for a smooth batter consistency.
Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the batter. Mix thoroughly until the oil is evenly distributed throughout the mixture. This will add moisture and help create a tender crust.
Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet or pizza pan. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly, forming a circle or rectangle shape to your desired pizza size. Aim for an even thickness to ensure uniform baking.
Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is firm and lightly golden brown. Baking times may vary, so keep an eye on it to avoid overbaking.
Add your desired pizza sauce, cheese, and other toppings over the cooled crust.
Return the assembled pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the toppings are cooked to your preference.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute before slicing. Enjoy your homemade pizza with a cottage cheese crust!
Tips:
- Make sure to drain any excess liquid from the cottage cheese to keep the crust from becoming too moist.
- If you prefer a crispier crust, bake it a little longer before adding your toppings.
- Experiment with different herbs and spices in the crust mixture to add extra flavor.
- Consider using parchment paper on the baking tray to make it easier to remove the crust once it's cooked.
- Let the crust cool slightly before adding your toppings to prevent it from becoming soggy.
