Cottage cheese pizza crust

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.

Ingredients:

1 cup lowfat cottage cheese
210g
1/3 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
40g
2 tbsp vegetable oil
27g
3 eggs
190g
1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g

Instructions:

2. Blend the Cottage Cheese:
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.
3. Add the Eggs:
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.
4. Incorporate the Flour:
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.
5. Pour in the Vegetable Oil:
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.
7. Spread the Batter:
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.
8. Bake the Crust:
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.
10. Add Toppings:
Add your desired pizza sauce, cheese, and other toppings over the cooled crust.
11. Final Bake:
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.
12. Serve:
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.
