Equipment

  • Blender or food processor
  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet or pizza stone
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 220°C / 430°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add the cottage cheese to a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  • Transfer the blended cottage cheese to a mixing bowl. Add flour, baking powder, and salt, then mix until a soft dough forms.
  • Knead in the olive oil briefly until the dough becomes smooth and slightly elastic.
  • Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a thin, even pizza crust.
  • Prebake the crust for 8–9 minutes until the surface feels set and lightly firm.
  • Remove from the oven, add your favorite toppings, then return to the oven and bake for another 8–10 minutes until golden and cooked through.

Notes

  • For a crispier crust, roll it slightly thinner before prebaking.
  • This crust works best with lighter toppings to keep it firm.
  • You can swap half the flour for whole wheat flour if desired.
