INGREDIENT NOTES:
ALMOND FLOUR:
- Here, we will use this flour, as it contains less quantity of carbs. Also, you will get a little nutty taste from using it in your recipe. This flour will also mix the dough for your pizza easily. Also, utilize finely blended almond flour for this recipe. For an alternative idea, use sunflower seed flour if you prefer.
COTTAGE CHEESE:
- We have to use cottage cheese, as it will give a protein and moisture content. It also helps to combine the dough with a creamy flavor. You have to use high-fat cottage cheese, which will provide perfect keto macros and an indulgent taste. You can substitute ricotta cheese, cream cheese, high-fat Greek yogurt, or mascarpone cheese.
