Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust

1 cup cottage cheese (2% fat)

2 large eggs

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1/4 cup all-purpose flour (gluten-free if needed)

For Topping

3/4 cup pizza or marinara sauce

46 oz fresh mozzarella, cubed small

12 oz sliced pepperoni

4 oz shredded Italian blend cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven: Set to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.

Make the crust: Blend cottage cheese, eggs, seasoning, and flour in a food processor or blender until smooth.

Bake the base: Pour mixture onto prepared sheet and spread into a circle or rectangle. Bake for 25–30 minutes until set and lightly golden.

Top it up: Spread sauce over crust, then layer with mozzarella, Italian cheese, and pepperoni.

Finish baking: Return to oven for another 10–12 minutes until cheese is bubbly and edges are crisp.

Cool & slice: Let sit 5 minutes before slicing — crust will firm up as it cools.
