Ingredients
Pizza Crust Ingredients
- 1 cup Cottage Cheese (Can be low-fat or regular.)
- 2 large Eggs (No substitutes recommended.)
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella (Part-skim or dairy-free alternatives optional.)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (Customize with herbs as desired.)
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning (Blends classic pizza herbs.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, mozzarella, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix until smooth.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
- Pour the mixture onto the baking sheet and spread it out evenly to form your pizza crust.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the crust is set.
- Remove from the oven and add your favorite pizza toppings.
- Return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, or until the toppings are cooked to your liking.
Notes
For added flavor, mix in chopped fresh herbs or spices to the batter before baking. Ensure the mixture is spread evenly on the baking sheet for even cooking. Use a pizza stone for a crispier crust.
