• servings: 2 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups cottage cheese

3 large eggs

3/4 cup oat flour or almond flour (plus more as needed)

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella

1/2 cup shredded cheddar

1/4 cup spicy salami or pepperoni

1/4 cup tomato sauce or pizza sauce

Oregano and chili flakes (to taste)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Add the cottage cheese and eggs to a bowl and blend with a stick blender until smooth.

Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until combined. The batter should be thick but scoopable. Add a little more flour if it feels too loose.

Spoon the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and use the back of a spoon to shape it into a pizza round.

Spread the pizza sauce over the crust, then top with mozzarella, cheddar, and pepperoni. Finish with oregano and chili flakes.

Bake for 35–40 minutes, until set and lightly golden around the edges.

Let cool for a few minutes before slicing to help it firm up.
