pizzacrustprotein This Protein Pizza recipes has an easy cottage cheese crust and packs a nutritional punch. Build your pizza from a protein packed crust of 18 g per serving. It's a delicious and healthy way to fuel up.

1 cup cottage cheese
2 large eggs
2 scoops unflavoured whey protein powder (39 g)
2 Tbsp. coconut flour
1 tsp. Italian seasoning

Pizza Toppings (Classic):
⅓ cup tomato sauce
4 oz pepperoni
1 cup mozzarella, freshly shredded

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C/160°C fan, Gas Mark 4) and line two 9" round baking pans with parchment paper. Grease the parchment.

In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, protein powder, coconut flour and seasoning. Blend until smooth.

Divide the mixture evenly between the two pans, spreading to the edges. Shake the pans gently to even them out as much as possible.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crusts are firm to the touch. Remove and let cool at least 10 minutes.

Once cooled, carefully peel the crusts from the parchment paper. Lightly grease a baking sheet and place the crusts upside down on the baking sheet.

Add your favourite pizza toppings. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10-12 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

Storage Information: Store any leftovers in the fridge in a covered container for up to 5 days.
Make-Ahead: The crusts can also be made ahead and stored in the fridge for 5-7 days, or in the freezer for several months.
