Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese full-fat, drained well
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese softened
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Place the cottage cheese in a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth and press out as much liquid as possible. This step is crucial for a crispy crust.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 60-90 seconds until melted, then stir until smooth. Let cool slightly, then mix in the beaten eggs and drained cottage cheese.
  4. Add the almond flour, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and baking powder to the cheese mixture. Stir until a dough forms and everything is well combined.
  5. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands or a spatula, spread and shape the dough into a round or rectangular pizza crust about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Bake the crust for 12-15 minutes until it's golden brown and firm to the touch. Remove from the oven.
  7. Add your favorite keto-friendly pizza toppings and return to the oven for an additional 5-8 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Make sure to drain the cottage cheese thoroughly to prevent a soggy crust. For extra crispiness, brush the edges with olive oil before baking. This crust can be made ahead and frozen for up to 3 months - just thaw and add toppings when ready to use.
