- 1 cup Cottage Cheese (opt for small curd for smoother texture)
- 3 large Egg Whites (substitute with whole eggs for richer flavor)
- 1 cup Flour (all-purpose or almond flour for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (fresh garlic can be substituted)
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning (use dried herbs or fresh ones)
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt (adjust according to dietary preferences)
- 1/4 teaspoon Pepper (optional if preferred milder)
- 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (omit for milder pizza)
- 1 cup Marinara Sauce (quality jarred sauce recommended)
- 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese (consider low-fat for lighter version)
- 1/2 cup Turkey Pepperoni (or swap for vegetables for vegetarian option)
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Blend cottage cheese, egg whites, flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into a circular shape approximately 1/4-inch thick.
- Bake the crust for 32-35 minutes until golden and firm.
- Spread marinara sauce on the crust, followed by shredded mozzarella and turkey pepperoni.
- Return the pizza to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or broil for 2 minutes for a golden finish.
- Allow cooling for 7-10 minutes, then slice into wedges and serve warm.
