This light and nutritious pizza is made with cottage cheese and oat flour, offering a high-protein, fiber-rich alternative to traditional pizza dough. Perfect for those looking for a healthier twist on a classic favorite!
Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 250 g cottage cheese (smooth or slightly crumbled)
- 150 g oat flour (or finely ground oats)
- 1 egg
- A pinch of salt
For the Toppings (customizable):
- Cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or feta)
- Tomato slices or cherry tomatoes
- Tuna (optional, for extra protein)
- Ketchup with stevia or sugar-free tomato sauce
- Herbs and spices (oregano, basil, or chili flakes for extra flavor)
Procedure
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a bowl, mix the cottage cheese, oat flour, egg, and salt until a dough forms.
- Let the dough rest for 10–15 minutes to allow the oat flour to absorb moisture.
- Shape and Pre-Bake the Crust:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and shape the dough into a round pizza base using your hands and a little water to prevent sticking.
- Add Toppings and Bake:
- Spread ketchup or tomato sauce over the crust.
- Add cheese, tomato slices, and tuna (if using).
- Sprinkle with herbs and spices for extra flavor.
- Bake for about 35 minutes, until the crust is firm and slightly golden.
Final Tip
For a crispier crust, lightly brush the dough with olive oil before baking. Serve with a fresh green salad for a balanced meal!
Enjoy! 🍕
