How to Make Our Cottage Cheese Pizza Crust
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Blend the Batter
Add cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour, and any optional seasonings to a blender or food processor.
Blend until completely smooth. The smoother the batter, the better the texture.
3. Shape the Crusts
Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet.
Spread into thin, round crust shapes using a spatula. Thinner crusts = crispier results.
4. Bake
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the crusts are golden, set, and lightly crispy on the edges.
5. Add Toppings (Optional)
Remove from the oven, add sauce, cheese, and toppings of choice.
Return to the oven for 5 more minutes, just until everything melts and bubbles.
Storage & Serving Suggestions
- Store baked crusts in the fridge for 3–4 days
- Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best crispiness
- Use as a base for pizza, flatbreads, or even breakfast-style toppings
Tips & FAQs
Can I make this without a blender?
A blender is highly recommended. Mixing by hand won’t break down the cottage cheese enough.
Why is my crust soft in the middle?
It likely needs to be spread thinner or baked a few minutes longer before adding toppings.
