💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Bake your protein pizza base at 425°F for 12-15 minutes before adding toppings to create a moisture barrier that prevents sogginess from wet toppings.technique425°F for 12-15 minutes
- ✓Use a 2:1 ratio of self-raising flour to coconut flour because coconut flour absorbs 4x more liquid than wheat flour, creating the right dough consistency without excess moisture.ingredient2:1 ratio
- ✓Whip egg whites to soft peaks before folding into the flour mixture to incorporate air and increase base volume by 30-40% for a lighter texture.technique30-40% volume increase
- ✓Pre-bake pepperoni slices at 375°F for 5 minutes on paper towels to render excess fat and prevent oil pools that make low-fat cheese greasy.timing375°F for 5 minutes
- ✓Use Greek yogurt at exactly 2% fat content rather than 0% because some fat is needed for proper dough binding while maintaining protein density of 15-18g per serving.ingredient2% fat content
