Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Blend cottage cheese until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Mix blended cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and salt until a soft dough forms.
  4. Press dough into a round pizza crust about 1/4 inch thick on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Pre-bake the crust for 15–18 minutes until lightly golden and set.
  6. Spread pizza sauce over the crust, add mozzarella and toppings.
  7. Bake an additional 8–10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

Blend the cottage cheese thoroughly for a smooth dough texture. Do not skip pre-baking the crust to prevent sogginess. You can substitute whole wheat or gluten-free flour if desired.
