Ingredients

• Flatbread Base
• 1 cup (225 g) cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup (60 g) oat flour (or finely ground rolled oats)
• 1/4 cup (30 g) grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• Pizza Toppings
• 1/2 cup (120 ml) pizza sauce
• 1 cup (100 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup (60 g) sliced cherry tomatoes
• 1/4 cup (30 g) sliced black olives
• 1/4 cup (15 g) baby spinach leaves
• Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Blend the Base

In a blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese until it reaches a completely smooth consistency.

Step 3: Mix the Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese, eggs, oat flour, grated Parmesan, salt, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Mix until a thick, uniform batter forms.

Step 4: Shape the Flatbreads

Divide the batter in half. Spoon it onto the prepared baking sheet and spread each portion into an oval or round flatbread shape, approximately 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) thick.

Step 5: First Bake

Bake for 15 minutes, or until the flatbread bases are firm to the touch and lightly golden around the edges.

Step 6: Add Toppings

Remove from the oven. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over each base, then top with shredded mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, olives, baby spinach, and any other desired toppings.

Step 7: Final Bake

Return the pizzas to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Step 8: Garnish and Serve

Garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve while warm.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Using a blender is essential for the base to ensure there are no lumps of cottage cheese, resulting in a smooth dough. Always use parchment paper on your baking sheet, as the high protein content can cause the dough to stick to metal surfaces. Ensure your oat flour is finely ground for the best structure.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For a gluten-free version, simply use certified gluten-free oat flour. If you want to boost the protein even further, consider adding grilled chicken or turkey breast as a topping. For those looking for a vegetarian alternative to Parmesan, nutritional yeast can be used to provide a similar savory depth. If you enjoy a bit of heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes over the cheese before the final bake.

Serviervorschläge

Serve these pizzas warm immediately after baking. They pair wonderfully with a fresh green side salad or a light balsamic vinaigrette. Because they are high in protein, they stand alone as a complete meal, but can also be sliced into smaller pieces to serve as a healthy appetizer or snack for guests.

Häufige Fragen zum Rezept

→ Kann man Hüttenkäse ersetzen?

Für eine ähnliche Textur eignen sich Ricotta oder gut abgetropfter griechischer Joghurt, wobei sich Wassergehalt und Bindung leicht ändern. Parmesan hilft, die Konsistenz zu stabilisieren.

→ Welche Mehlalternativen funktionieren?

Fein gemahlene Haferflocken sorgen für eine leichte, nussige Basis. Für eine glutenfreie Variante zertifiziertes Hafermehl verwenden oder durch Mandelmehl ersetzen (Mengen anpassen wegen Saugfähigkeit).

→ Wie lange und bei welcher Temperatur backen?

Vorbacken bei 200 °C (400 °F) etwa 15 Minuten, damit der Boden fest wird. Nach Belegen weitere 5 Minuten backen, bis der Käse geschmolzen und leicht gebräunt ist.

→ Wie bewahre ich übrig gebliebene Fladen auf?

Im Kühlschrank in einem luftdichten Behälter 2–3 Tage haltbar. Zum Aufwärmen im Ofen bei 180 °C kurz knusprig backen oder in der Pfanne erwärmen, damit der Boden nicht durchweicht.

→ Wie mache ich die Variante proteinreicher?

Gegrilltes Hähnchen oder Putenbrust als Belag hinzufügen oder die Eiermenge leicht erhöhen. Hüttenkäse liefert bereits viel Eiweiß – zusätzliche mageres Fleisch steigert den Proteingehalt.

→ Welche Beläge passen am besten?

Leichte, frische Beläge wie Cherry‑Tomaten, Spinat, Oliven und frisches Basilikum ergänzen den cremigen Boden. Für mehr Würze Rucola, Chiliflocken oder geröstete Paprika verwenden.
