Description
These cottage cheese pizza buns come together in just 30 minutes and have 18 grams of protein each!
Ingredients
Units
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup cottage cheese (I use 2%)
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Optional toppings
- Pepperoni
- Bell pepper
- Mushrooms
- Onions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Whisk egg, then add cottage cheese and apple cider vinegar and whisk to combine.
- Mix the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and Italian seasoning together.
- Mix wet and dry ingredients together until a dough forms. The dough should be a little soft, not like a springy bread dough.
- Divide the dough into 4 portions, then add each portion to the baking sheet. Using your hands flatten dough portions into circles, about 1/2 inch thick. (I find it helpful to lightly wet your hands to prevent the dough from sticking to them!)
- Add the pizza sauce (about 2 tablespoons each), shredded cheese and any additional toppings you’re using.
- Bake for 18–24 minutes until bubbly and golden.
- Let cool slightly and enjoy.
Notes
Strain the cottage cheese if it’s very runny.
Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350 degrees until warmed through. You can also reheat in the microwave but they won’t be crispy.
