Servings: 4 Servings
Equipment
- Rolling Pin
- Plastic Wrap
Ingredients
Pizza Crust Ingredients:
- 1 cup cottage cheese stirred well (Note 1)
- 1 cup gluten free flour (Note 2)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Pizza Toppings:
- ⅓ cup pizza sauce
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- Additional Toppings: Pepperoni, Salami, Green Peppers, Olives, Parmesan Cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a large food processor, add the cottage cheese, gluten free flour, baking powder, and kosher salt. Blend until the dough comes together and forms a ball. The dough will be sticky, but it is okay.
- Using a spatula, place the pizza dough onto a piece of parchment paper or a silicone mat. Scrape the sides of the bowl, too!
- Cover the pizza dough with a large sheet of plastic wrap. This will keep the dough from sticking to the rolling pin.
- Carefully roll out the dough using a rolling pin. Try to roll it out as evenly as possible.
- Once the dough is rolled out, gently lift the parchment paper onto a baking sheet. Discard the plastic wrap.
- Bake in a preheated 425 degree F oven for 20 minutes.
- Once the edges are golden brown, remove from the oven.
- Spoon pizza sauce over the crust, coming out the edges.
- Next, add shredded mozzarella cheese. Freshly grated mozzarella cheese will melt the best.
- Add pepperoni and any other toppings.
- Bake for another 10-12 minutes in a 425 degree F oven or until cheese is golden brown. Pop under the broiler for 2-3 minutes to get a deep golden brown color.
- Remove the pan and cut into pieces with a pizza cutter. Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese and enjoy.
Notes
Note 1: For a rich, flavorful crust, use 4% milkfat. However, if you want a lower fat option, use 2% or 1% cottage cheese. Lactose-free cottage cheese will work.
Note 2: The recipe was tested using Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 gluten free flour in the blue bag.
