Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 1 cup cottage cheese 4% fat is best, I used small curd
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the pizza:

  • 1/3 cup pizza sauce or to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella low-moisture, part skim
  • 1/3 cup pepperoni slices or to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375℉.
    Add cottage cheese, eggs, flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and salt to a blender. Pulse until smooth.
    Blender with blended up cottage cheese pizza dough.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pour batter into the middle like you would pour pancake batter. It will kind of spread on its own but you can move the pan around to make it into a circle. You don't want it spread too thin, it should be about 10" in diameter.

  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust becomes golden brown all over the top and cooked through.

  • Remove from the oven and spread pizza sauce evenly over the top. Add cheese, then top with pepperoni.
    Optional: you can add a little more cheese over the top of the pepperoni to help hold the toppings on if desired.
