Servings: 1 serving
Calories: 155kcal
Ingredients
- 3 large egg whites
- 1/4 cup unflavored protein powder or egg white powder
- 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
- ¼ tsp salt
- Toppings: Pizza Sauce, Pepperoni slices, Shredded Mozzarella
Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with nonstick spray.
- Whip the egg whites. Add the egg whites to a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer or stand mixer, beat until very stiff peaks form. The mixture should look glossy and hold its shape when you lift the beaters.
- Fold in the dry ingredients. Add the protein powder, salt, and Italian seasoning, if using. Gently fold everything together with a spatula until fully incorporated. Try not to overmix, so the egg whites stay fluffy.
- Shape the crust. Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into a 9-inch round crust. Keep the layer even so it bakes properly.
- Bake the crust. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the crust is set, lightly golden around the edges, and firm enough to hold toppings.
- Add toppings. Remove from the oven and add pizza sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, or your favorite toppings.
- Broil until melted. Broil for 3–4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch closely so it doesn’t burn.
Notes
For the best flavor, I recommend seasoning the crust well before baking. Add Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and a little grated Parmesan if you want a more savory pizza-style taste.
