Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese full-fat works too
- 2 count large eggs
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp kosher salt reduce if using fine salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 0.75 cup pizza sauce no-sugar-added if preferred
- 1 cup part-skim mozzarella, shredded
- 2 oz turkey pepperoni slices or regular pepperoni
- 0.25 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup bell pepper, diced any color

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
- Blend the cottage cheese, eggs, and olive oil in a blender until completely smooth.
- In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour in the cottage cheese mixture and stir until a thick batter forms.
- Spread the batter into a 12-inch circle on the parchment, about 0.25 inch thick.
- Bake the crust for 10 to 12 minutes until set and lightly golden at the edges.
- Top with pizza sauce, mozzarella, turkey pepperoni, red onion, and bell pepper. Bake another 8 to 10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Cool 3 minutes, scatter basil on top, slice into 8 pieces, and serve.
Notes
For a gluten-free option, swap the flour for a 1:1 gluten-free blend. Prefer a crispier base? Prebake the crust until deeply golden, then add toppings and finish under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes. Customize with mushrooms, olives, or spinach as desired.
