2 Ingredient Keto Cottage Cheese Pizza Crust
This cottage cheese pizza crust is made with just 2 ingredients and takes only a few minutes to prepare. It is low carb and keto-friendly.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (183 g) superfine blanched almond flour
- 1 cup (220 g) small curds cottage cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C).
- Add almond flour and cottage cheese to a large mixing bowl. Mix together until you have a dough.
- Transfer the dough to a large sheet of parchment paper. Place another large sheet of parchment paper on top. Make sure to use a good quality parchment paper brand (we recommend Reynolds) because some inferior brands do not have a good nonstick coating. Roll the dough out until it is a circle, about 11 inches in diameter (the thickness should be about halfway between 1/4 and 1/2 inch). Peel off the top layer of parchment paper.
- Transfer the pizza crust (with the bottom layer of parchment paper still on) to a large baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the surface is lightly golden and crust is firm/dry enough to hold toppings.
- Remove the crust from the oven to add your toppings. I added a thin layer of low sugar tomato sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices.
- Bake pizza for another 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust edges are golden brown.
Notes
- Make sure to use small curds cottage cheese so that the cheese melts as the crust bakes. The recipe should work with 1%, 2% and 4% cottage cheese. Avoid using a low protein cottage cheese. Your cottage cheese should have at least 13 grams of protein per 1/2 cup (113 g) serving.
- I used Amazon Grocery cottage cheese* and Whole Foods 365 Organic cottage cheese.*
- I recommend using a good quality brand of parchment paper like Reynolds. Some inferior brands do not have a good nonstick coating which could result in your crust sticking to the parchment paper either when you are rolling out the crust or after the crust is finished baking. If you are having issues with the crust sticking to the top layer of parchment paper when rolling, you can also try using plastic wrap on top instead of parchment paper on top for rolling out the crust.
- I use Reynolds (Amazon | Walmart | Target)* and Kirkland Paper Chef* brands parchment paper.
