Notes
Consistency: The moisture content of cottage cheese varies from brand to brand. Hand knead the dough properly before adding water or milk as the moisture releases under pressure. Add 1 tbsp of liquid at a time to make if neeeded.
Storage: These high protein bases can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for 3 days or freezer up to 3 months. Make sure to put a sheet of parchment paper in between bases to prevent them from sticking of you’re double or triple batching the recipe.

Ingredients and substitutions
- Cottage Cheese – I use full fat but lower fat options will work as well.
- Self-rising flour – To make 1 cup of self-rising flour, whisk together: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ¼ teaspoon fine salt.
- Salt – Don’t skip it or the base will be bland.
High Protein Pizza Topping Ideas
I use my blender pizza sauce or cottage cheese Alfredo sauce to cover the base.
For an extra protein boost, try adding:
- Tuna – red onion – chili oil – cheese
- Chicken – pulled BBQ chicken – pineapple – jalapeños – cheese
- Shrimp – fresh or defrosted shrimp marinated in olive oil, garlic. s+p.
- Ground beef – try my Turkish pizza (pictured below)
