Directions:
Step 1 – Preheat & Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent the crust from sticking.
Step 2 – Mix the Dough:
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together cottage cheese and almond flour until a thick dough forms. Make sure it’s well combined.
Step 3 – Shape the Crust:
- Spread the dough onto the prepared tray, shaping it into a circle or rectangle about ½ inch (1.2 cm) thick. Use a spatula to smooth the dough for even cooking.
Step 4 – Bake:
- Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the crust is firm.
💡 Tips for Success:
- Flavor Boost: Mix in Italian herbs, garlic powder, or oregano to enhance the crust’s flavor.
- Topping Tip: After baking the crust, top with your favorite sauce, cheese, and veggies, then return to the oven for a few more minutes until everything is melted and bubbly.
- Storage: Store leftover crust in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for later use.
