In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, and almond flour.
Add a pinch of salt or Italian seasoning if using.
Mix until a thick batter/dough forms.
Step 3 – Shape the Crust
Spread the mixture on the baking sheet into a round or rectangle,
about ½ inch (1.2 cm) thick.
Step 4 – Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden and firm around the edges.
Step 5 – Add Toppings (Optional)
Add your favorite pizza toppings and return to the oven for 5–7 minutes,
until everything is melty and delicious.
Tips for Success:
Use low-moisture cottage cheese for a sturdier crust.
Almond flour gives a crispier crust; oat flour gives a softer, breadier result.
Let the crust cool for 3–5 minutes before slicing for the best texture.
