Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1 cup cottage cheese Protein-packed base for the crust.
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Adds creaminess and flavor.
  • 1 cup almond flour Can substitute with any preferred flour.
  • 2 pieces eggs Bind the crust together.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder For flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano Adds a Mediterranean touch.
  • Salt and pepper To taste.
For topping
  • Toppings of your choice (e.g., pepperoni, olives, bell peppers, spinach, etc.) Customize to your liking.
  • Pizza sauce For spreading on the crust.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixer, combine the cottage cheese, shredded mozzarella, eggs, almond flour, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
  3. Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping it into your desired flatbread size—about ¼ inch thick.
Cooking
  1. Place the crust in the oven for about 10-12 minutes or until it’s golden brown and slightly firm.
  2. Remove the crust from the oven and spread a layer of pizza sauce on top. Add your favorite toppings and a sprinkle of additional cheese, if desired.
  3. Return it to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serving
  1. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, slice, and enjoy!

Notes

Use a food processor for a smooth dough. Experiment with different flours like oat or whole grain if preferred. Keep an eye on the cooking time to avoid overcooking. Adding fresh herbs like basil or parsley elevates the pizza.
