In a large bowl combine flour, Greek Yogurt, olive oil, baking powder and a pinch of sea salt. Quickly stir until it comes to form a dough: adjust with more flour if it is sticky or more Greek yogurt if it is too dry.
- Transfer the protein pizza dough over a clean floured surface and knead to form a soft dough ball.

Top with as much cottage cheese as you feel necessary, a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. If desired, you can add additional toppings such as grilled vegetables, chicken breast, pepperoni or tuna.
