Ingredients
Scale
Flatbread Base
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian herb mix
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Toppings
- 2/3 cup pizza sauce
- 3.5 ounces grated cheese (Gouda, Edam, or mozzarella)
- 2 ounces pepperoni
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (180°C) to prepare for baking the flatbread base.
- Blend Base Ingredients: In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and Italian herb mix. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and homogeneous, forming the base batter.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Pour the blended mixture onto the sheet and spread it evenly into a thin circular shape, forming the flatbread crust.
- Bake the Flatbread: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the flatbread turns golden brown and firm to touch.
- Increase Oven Temperature: After the flatbread is baked, raise the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the topped pizza.
- Add Pizza Toppings: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the baked flatbread. Sprinkle the grated cheese over the sauce and arrange the pepperoni slices on top for a classic pizza flavor.
- Final Bake: Return the topped flatbread to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
Notes
- The flatbread base is naturally gluten-free and high in protein due to the cottage cheese and eggs.
- You can substitute pepperoni with any preferred toppings like vegetables or cooked meats.
- To make it spicier, add chili flakes or drizzle with hot sauce before serving.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to ensure easy removal and clean-up.
- Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing for better texture and easier handling.
