Favorite Toppings for High Protein Pizza

  • Meat: Cooked turkey sausage or ground chicken, pepperoni, shredded or sliced chicken, turkey pepperoni, ham

  • Veggies: Green bell pepper, mushrooms, onion, fresh tomatoes, olives, red onion
  • Other toppings: fresh basil, crushed red pepper flakes, oregano, pineapple

FAQS

Should I use nonfat Greek yogurt or full fat?

I have tested both options, and honestly they both turn out great! I don’t think there is a big difference, so go with your preference!

Can I make high protein pizza dough ahead?

Yes! When making ahead, wrap the prepared dough in plastic wrap or store the dough ball in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use. Dough will keep for 1-2 days in the refrigerator.

What flour is best for high protein pizza crust?

All-purpose flour is great. If you prefer, substitute self-rising flour for the all-purpose flour and eliminate the baking powder in the recipe.

Can cottage cheese be substituted for the Greek yogurt?

Yes, feel free to use blended cottage cheese in this recipe in place of the yogurt. To make a cottage cheese pizza crust, first place cottage cheese in a blender and pulse until it has a creamy smooth texture. Follow directions accordingly to make the dough and build your pizza.
