Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese, drained
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 large egg
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
1/4 cup sliced pepperoni
1/4 cup sliced black olives
1/4 cup sliced bell peppers
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the drained cottage cheese, 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, egg, almond flour, salt, and garlic powder. Mix well until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Using wet hands or a spatula, spread the dough into a 10-inch circle about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the crust is set.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the pizza sauce evenly over the top.
Sprinkle the 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Add the pepperoni slices, black olives, and bell peppers evenly over the cheese.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
