Healthy, high-protein pizza recipe contains secret ingredient and people are obsessed

Fancy a pizza but on a diet? Turns out you can still enjoy your favourite treat even while on a health journey.

TikTok user @thezachrocheleau has revealed a pizza recipe with a surprising ingredient that will leave you both baffled and intrigued. This "homemade pizza" packs 56g of protein, and the entire thing contains just 640 calories despite being 12 inches in diameter. It's the perfect pizza for a cosy date night at home, a dinner party with friends, or a solo movie night on the sofa.

To whip up this delicious pizza, you'll need to create the dough from 150g 2% cottage cheese (yes, you read that correctly!) and 75g egg white, then blend them until smooth.

Next, "take a big bowl", add 70g self-raising flour, 12g coconut flour, 5g nutritional yeast, and garlic powder, which he encourages you not to be "shy" with. Then "mix to avoid clumping."

Combine the blended cottage cheese and egg mixture with the dry ingredients and "mix until a wet dough."

You'll then need to spread the mixture onto a piece of parchment paper on a baking tray, shaping it from the inside out to form a pizza crust that's "at least 12 inches."

Finally, pop it into the oven at 220 degrees, and bake for 8-10 minutes, or "until golden".

You must then gently remove it from the parchment paper and spread 90g of pizza sauce over the base. After that, sprinkle 56g of part-skim mozzarella, give the crust a light spritz of olive oil spray, and a dusting of garlic powder, before returning it to the oven until the toppings turn "golden".
