Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until creamy and well blended (about 2-3 minutes).
Gradually add almond flour to the mixture, stirring gently until a thick batter forms (2-3 minutes).
Transfer the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into a circle about ½ inch thick.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Add your favorite pizza toppings, and return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes until toppings are bubbly and melty.
