Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup almond flour
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup sugar-free pizza sauce
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese for topping
12 slices pepperoni
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
2. Add the cottage cheese and eggs to a blender or food processor and blend until mostly smooth.
3. Pour the mixture into a bowl and stir in the mozzarella, Parmesan, almond flour, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
4. Spread the mixture onto the prepared pan in an even round about 1/4 inch thick.
5. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the crust is set and lightly golden around the edges.
6. Remove the crust from the oven and spread the pizza sauce over the top.
7. Add the remaining mozzarella and pepperoni slices.
8. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Let the pizza rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Blend the cottage cheese well for the smoothest crust texture.
Do not overload the pizza with watery toppings or the crust can soften too much.
Let the pizza rest before slicing so the crust holds together better.
