Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, almond flour, and eggs. Mix well until a dough forms.
  3. Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a round pizza crust, about 1/4 inch thick.
  4. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until it becomes golden brown.
  5. Remove the crust from the oven and spread a layer of marinara sauce evenly over the top.
  6. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then add pepperoni and mushrooms as desired.
  7. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Once cooked, remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve.

Chef’s Tips

  • For a crispier crust, bake the crust a few minutes longer before adding toppings.
  • Feel free to customize your toppings based on your preferences and dietary needs.
  • You can substitute cottage cheese with ricotta if you prefer a creamier texture.
