Instructions

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a large bowl combine flour, Greek Yogurt, olive oil, baking powder and a pinch of sea salt. Quickly stir until it comes to form a dough: adjust with more flour if it is sticky or more Greek yogurt if it is too dry.
Transfer the protein pizza dough over a clean floured surface and knead to form a soft dough ball.
With the aid of a rolling pin and your hands, shape into a round of about 15 cm (6-inch), with the edges thicker than the center, sprinkling more flour if it gets sticky.
Top with as much cottage cheese as you feel necessary, a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. If desired, you can add additional toppings such as grilled vegetables, chicken breast, pepperoni or tuna.
Bake in hot oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the pizza crust is golden brown.
