Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese full-fat or low-fat
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese and eggs. Mix well until smooth and well combined. You can use a blender for a smoother texture if desired.
  3. Add the flour to the cottage cheese mixture along with salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning if using. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
  4. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Using lightly floured hands or a spatula, spread and shape the dough into a round or rectangular pizza crust about 1/4 inch thick.
  5. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set and lightly browned.
  6. Remove the crust from the oven and add your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings.
  7. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 7-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Slice and serve hot.

Notes

For a crispier crust, bake the par-baked crust for a few extra minutes before adding toppings. You can substitute the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour or almond flour for a different texture and nutritional profile. Make sure to blend the cottage cheese well if you prefer a smoother crust without curds showing through.
