Ingredients
Pizza Dough
- 2 1/4 cups self-rising flour 270g (plus more for rolling)
- 2 cups low-fat cottage cheese 16 oz.
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. dried basil
- 1/4 tsp. dried oregano
- chopped green leaf lettuce
Meat
- 1 lb. lean ground beef 96/4
- 1 tsp. yellow mustard
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- fresh cracked pepper
Big Mac Sauce
- 1/4 cup light mayonnaise 60g
- 1/4 cup kethcup 60g
- 1/4 cup dill pickles finely chopped
- 1 Tbsp. pickkle juice
Toppings
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese 84g
- shredded iceberg lettuce
- finely chopped white onion
- dil pickles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, cottage cheese, salt, basil and oregano. Using a rubber spatula and eventually your hands mash the ingredients together until they begin to stick and form a large dough ball. This will take some work but it will come together.
- The dough will be VERY sticky and that is ok! Lay the ball onto a well floured surface and roll it around so it’s coated in the flour. Use well floured hands and press it down into a thick disk. Transfer the disk to a large 12-inch cast iron (or larger) coated with nonstick spray and press it out so it evenly reaches the edges of the cast iron surface.
- Heat a large skillet over medium and brown the ground beef until cooked through. Add the yellow mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper and stir to combine.
- While the meat cooks, add the mayonnaise, ketchup, pickles and juice to a small mixing bowl. Mix to combine and top the raw dough with ½ to ¾ of the sauce, leaving some remaining to drizzle on top of the pizza.
- Top the sauce with ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, 56g. Using a slotted spoon scoop the ground beef out of the skillet and onto the cheese-covered pizza. Evenly spread the meat around the pizza.
- Top with the remaining ¼ cup of cheddar cheese. Lightly spray the edges of the crust with cooking spray to help them brown in the oven and place the pizza in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Remove the pizza and let cool for 5 minutes. Top with shredded lettuce, chopped white onion, pickles and the remaining Big Mac Sauce. Cut into 6 pieces and enjoy.
Notes
- All nutrition facts are an estimate and will change with any substitutions.
- This recipe works best in a cast iron for a nice crispy crust.
- I do not suggest a smaller cast iron than 12-inches. If using smaller you should cut the recipe in half so the dough bakes well and you can fit the meat on the crust.
- Use this crust recipe and top with all your favorite pizza toppings.
