Ingredients
- 5 eggs large, room temperature
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
For topping:
- 1 cup sugar-free pizza sauce or marinara sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup ham chopped
- 1/4 cup pepperoni sliced, optional
- 1/4 cup mushrooms sliced, optional
- 1/4 cup bell peppers diced, optional
- 2 tbsp red onion sliced, optional
- 2 tbsp olives sliced, optional
- Extra Italian seasoning for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang for easy removal.
- Add the cottage cheese and eggs to a large bowl. Blend with an immersion blender until completely smooth. You can also use a regular blender.
- Add the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, cornstarch, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Stir until a thick, spreadable batter forms.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan, making sure it reaches the corners.
- Spoon the pizza sauce over the batter, then sprinkle with mozzarella. Add the ham, pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, red onion, olives, or any toppings you like.
- Sprinkle with a little extra Italian seasoning.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly golden, and the crust feels set in the center.
- Let the pizza rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the crust firm up and makes the slices easier to lift.
Notes
- Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth so the crust doesn’t have curds.
- Don’t skip the coconut flour. It absorbs moisture and helps the crust set.
- Use a thick pizza sauce so the center doesn’t get soggy.
- Don’t overload the pizza with watery toppings like mushrooms, peppers, or onions.
- Let the pizza rest before slicing. It firms up as it cools slightly.
- Use parchment paper so the pizza lifts out cleanly.
