A quick and easy cottage cheese pizza crust that bakes up golden, chewy, and delicious. No yeast required and no wait time! Perfect for weeknight homemade pizza!
Ingredients
Scale
For the crust:
- 1 cup cottage cheese, blended
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
For the pizza:
- ¼ -⅓ cup marinara sauce
- ½ – ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Add the blended cottage cheese in a bowl. Mix with the flour, baking powder and salt until a dough starts to come together. The dough will feel kind of shaggy, crumbly and a little sticky. Dump it out onto a clean surface and use your hands to really bring it together. Squish it together and use a little extra flour as needed until it forms a ball.
- Place a sheet of parchment on a pizza pan or baking sheet. Place the dough on the parchment and press into a circle that is about 10-12 inches in diameter. The dough will puff up a bit so I like to really make the dough as thin as possible.
- Brush the top of the crust with olive oil and place in the oven with no toppings for 8-10 minutes on the top rack.
- Remove from the oven. Spread with sauce and top with cheese, oregano and mushrooms if using. Bake on that same top rack for another 5 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Broil for 2-3 minutes to get the crust nice and brown and the cheese super bubbly. Finish with red pepper flakes if desired and enjoy!
