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
  • 0.25 cup fresh basil, chopped for garnish

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.
