MUSHROOM PROTEIN PIZZA

This earthy mushroom protein pizza offers a satisfying combination of robust flavors and impressive nutrition, delivering a hearty 34 grams of protein per serving to fuel your active lifestyle. Packed with a medley of savory mushrooms, it boasts a rich umami taste and a tender, meaty texture that’s perfectly complemented by a crispy yet tender crust. The mushrooms provide essential vitamins, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, making this a wholesome choice for vegetarians and anyone looking to boost their protein intake without sacrificing flavor. With a well-balanced macro profile—high in protein, moderate in healthy fats, and moderate carbs—it's ideal for post-workout recovery or meal prepping for the week ahead. Whether enjoyed warm straight from the oven or as a quick, nutritious lunch, this pizza is versatile and satisfying. To enhance the flavor, consider adding fresh herbs or a drizzle of balsamic glaze before serving. For gluten-sensitive eaters, opt for a gluten-free crust, and for vegans, substitute cheese with plant-based alternatives. For best results, use a high-quality mushroom medley and ensure your crust is baked until golden and crispy—this guarantees a delightful crunch with every bite that keeps you coming back for more.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Slice is too dry

Try reducing baking time by 2-3 minutes, or add an extra tablespoon of Greek yogurt to the batter.

Not rising properly

Check that your baking powder is fresh (less than 6 months old). Also avoid overmixing the batter.

Gummy texture in center

This usually means under-baking. Use a toothpick to test - it should come out with just a few moist crumbs.

Too dense

Make sure you're measuring protein powder correctly. Too much protein powder can make baked goods dense.
