🧾 Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or 2%)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or self-rising flour — see note)
- 1 tsp baking powder (omit if using self-rising flour)
That’s it.
🔥 Instructions
1️⃣ Blend
Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth (this prevents a lumpy texture).
2️⃣ Mix Dough
In a bowl, combine blended cottage cheese, flour, and baking powder.
Stir until a dough forms. If sticky, add 1–2 tbsp extra flour.
3️⃣ Shape
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Press dough into a 9–10 inch circle (about ¼ inch thick).
4️⃣ Pre-Bake (Important!)
Bake crust alone for 12–15 minutes until lightly golden.
5️⃣ Add Toppings
Add sauce, cheese, and toppings.
Bake another 8–10 minutes until bubbly.
💡 Pro Tips
- Brush edges with olive oil for extra crispiness.
- Bake on a preheated pizza stone for a firmer base.
- For extra flavor, mix garlic powder or Italian seasoning into the dough.
