Ingredients
- 1 cup low-fat or non-fat cottage cheese
- 1 cup self-rising flour plus more as needed for dusting
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
- Add the cottage cheese to a food processor and blend for 20-30 seconds, or until smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the cottage cheese to a mixing bowl. Add the self-rising flour, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Stir until a dough forms.
- On a lightly floured surface, gently knead the dough a few times if needed. Roll or press the dough into a thin pizza crust on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the olive oil evenly over the surface of the crust.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the crust is lightly set.
- Remove from the oven and spread the pizza sauce over the crust. Top with mozzarella cheese and any additional toppings you like.
- Return to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
