Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian herb mix
2/3 cup pizza sauce
3.5 ounces grated cheese (Gouda, Edam, or mozzarella)
2 ounces pepperoni
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
Step 2: In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and Italian herb mix. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the blended mixture onto the paper and spread it evenly into a thin circular shape.
Step 4: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the flatbread is golden brown and set.
Step 5: Increase oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
Step 6: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the baked flatbread. Sprinkle grated cheese on top, followed by the pepperoni slices.
Step 7: Return to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 8: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then slice and serve.

Tips & Variations

For a vegetarian version, replace pepperoni with sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, or olives.
Use your favorite Italian herb mix or fresh herbs like basil and oregano for a fresher flavor.
If you don’t have a blender, use a food processor or whisk the ingredients very well to achieve a smooth batter.
Add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes before baking for a bit of heat.

Storage

Store leftover flatbread pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or a toaster oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through and the cheese is bubbly again. Avoid microwaving to keep the crust from becoming soggy.

How to Serve

The pizza has three layers: a golden-brown crispy crust at the bottom, a thick bright red tomato sauce layer in the middle, and a top layer of melted white cheese with a bubbly texture, topped with large, round red pepperoni slices that have a slightly shiny and oily surface, sprinkled with small green herbs. The pizza is served on a round white plate, with a bit of melted cheese spilling over the edges. The background is a white marbled surface photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Black pepper, to taste

For the Toppings

2/3 cup pizza sauce
3.5 ounces grated cheese (Gouda, Edam, or mozzarella)
2 ounces pepperoni

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) to prepare for baking the flatbread crust.
Prepare Batter: In a blender, combine cottage cheese, eggs, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and Italian herb mix; blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Shape Flatbread: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pour the blended mixture onto it. Spread it evenly into a thin circular shape forming the flatbread base.
Bake Flatbread: Bake the flatbread in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until it turns golden brown and sets firmly.
Increase Oven Temperature: Once the flatbread is baked, increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for melting the cheese and crisping the pizza.

Final Bake: Return the flatbread pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.

Notes

The flatbread crust is gluten-free due to the lack of flour, making it a great option for gluten-sensitive diets.
Feel free to substitute pepperoni with other toppings like mushrooms, olives, or bell peppers for variety.
Allow the flatbread to cool slightly before adding toppings to prevent sogginess.
Use a blender for the smoothest batter consistency; alternatively, a food processor can be used.
To make the crust crispier, you can broil it for 1-2 minutes after the final bake, watching carefully to avoid burning.
