Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese Ensure it's full-fat for ideal texture.
  • 1 cup Almond Flour Can use coconut flour, but adjust quantity due to higher absorbency.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Optional: Fresh minced garlic for a stronger taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Oregano Substitution: Italian seasoning for a mixed spice twist.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Adjust quantities based on taste preferences.
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper Adjust quantities based on taste preferences.
  • 2 large Eggs No direct substitutes recommended for binding purposes.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare your baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly blended.
  3. Add the cottage cheese and eggs to the bowl. Mix well until a thick, sticky dough forms.
  4. Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a roughly ¼-inch thick circle.
  5. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the edges turn golden brown.
  6. Remove from oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before adding toppings.
  7. Return the topped pizza to the oven for an additional 10 minutes until toppings are melted and bubbly.

Notes

Drain excess liquid from the cottage cheese before mixing to avoid a soggy crust. Using parchment paper on the baking sheet prevents sticking.
