Ingredients
Scale
For the Flatbread Crust
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian herb mix
- Salt, to taste
- 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.
- Add Toppings: Spread pizza sauce evenly over the baked flatbread, then sprinkle the grated cheese on top followed by arranging the pepperoni slices over the cheese.
- 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.
