Description
A quick and easy pizza crust made with minimal ingredients, perfect for a fast weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
For the Crust
- 1 cup cottage cheese (Use mild cottage cheese for a smoother dough.)
- 1 cup all purpose flour (Gluten-free all purpose flour is also acceptable.)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
For Toppings
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce (Use any sauce of your preference.)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (Mozzarella is recommended for melting; mix in Parmesan for flavor.)
- to taste toppings (Whatever toppings you’d like!)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- In a bowl, mix cottage cheese, all-purpose flour, and baking powder until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn dough onto the parchment and pat it into a circle or rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
- Wet your fingers lightly to smooth the surface.
Baking
- Bake the crust for 12–15 minutes, or until it’s set and the top shows tiny browned spots.
- Remove from oven. Spread pizza sauce and sprinkle shredded cheese plus any toppings.
- Return to the oven and bake another 5–8 minutes, until the cheese melts and toppings look happy.
- Let cool for a couple minutes, slice, and eat.
Notes
Store leftover pizza slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For best results, reheat in a skillet or oven. You can freeze plain baked crusts for up to a month.
