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
My pizzas are too dry
Try adding 1-2 tablespoons more liquid (milk, yogurt, or egg whites). Also ensure you're not over-measuring the protein powder - use the scoop and level method.
They didn't rise properly
Check your baking powder is fresh (test by adding to hot water - it should bubble vigorously). Also, don't overmix the batter as this can deflate the air bubbles.
The texture is rubbery
This usually means too much protein powder or overbaking. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.
