Cottage Cheese Pizza Crust

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese and egg, mixing until well combined.
3. Add in shredded mozzarella, almond flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until a dough forms.
4. Spread the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a round crust about 1/2 inch thick.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
6. Remove the crust from the oven and spread your desired pizza sauce over the top.
7. Add additional toppings such as cheese, pepperoni, or veggies, then return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes to melt the cheese.
8. Once cooked, allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Chef’s Tips

• For added flavor, experiment with different herbs and spices in the crust mix.
• Make sure to thoroughly drain the cottage cheese to prevent a soggy crust.
• You can prepare the crust in advance and freeze it for a quick weeknight dinner option.
