This complete protein pizza recipe delivers an impressive 45 grams of muscle-building protein per serving, making it an ideal choice for fueling your active lifestyle. The crust boasts a satisfying combination of crispy edges and a tender, chewy center, perfectly complementing the hearty toppings that burst with flavor. Each bite offers a delicious balance of savory, cheesy goodness with a hint of herbs and spices, while the protein-packed ingredients ensure you stay full and energized longer. Perfect for post-workout recovery or meal prepping for the week, this pizza is both nutritious and versatile. It’s naturally gluten-free if you opt for a cauliflower or alternative grain crust, and vegan options can be easily created by swapping cheese for plant-based versions and choosing vegan protein toppings. For best results, use high-quality lean meats or plant-based proteins, and ensure your toppings are evenly distributed for consistent flavor and texture. Remember to bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling for that irresistible, oven-fresh appeal. Enjoy this satisfying, nutrient-dense pizza as a delicious way to meet your daily protein needs without sacrificing taste. All nutrition data is verified using USDA FoodData Central for accuracy.

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.
