    PROTEIN PIZZA RECIPE
  • Add wet ingredients and Shape the dough:
    Crack in the eggs, add the Greek yogurt, olive oil, and 1/4 cup of water. Mix thoroughly until the dough comes together. It should be slightly sticky but firm enough to hold its shape. If it's too dry, add a bit more water. Lay a sheet of parchment paper on your work surface. Transfer the dough onto the parchment and use your hands or a rolling pin to spread it out into a round pizza shape about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Bake the crust:
    Transfer the dough (with the parchment paper) onto a baking sheet or preheated pizza stone. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges start to turn golden brown.
  • Add toppings and Serve:
    Once the crust is baked, remove it from the oven, add your desired toppings, and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 5-8 minutes until the toppings are heated through and the cheese (if using) is melted and bubbly. Slice and enjoy your high-protein, gluten-free pizza immediately!

Notes

  • For an extra crispy crust, brush a bit of olive oil on the edges before baking.
  • Experiment with different herbs like oregano or basil in the dough for added flavor.
  • You can also make mini personal pizzas by dividing the dough into smaller portions before baking.
