Total Time:50 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
Flatbread Base
1 cup cottage cheese
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian herb mix
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
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 base.
Prepare Flatbread Mixture. In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, eggs, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and Italian herb mix; blend until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
Form Flatbread. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pour the blended mixture onto it. Spread the mixture evenly into a thin circular shape.
Bake Flatbread. Bake the flatbread base for 30 minutes or until it turns golden brown and is set.
Increase Oven Temperature. Once the flatbread base is baked, increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the topped pizza.
Add Toppings. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the baked flatbread, then sprinkle the grated cheese on top followed by the pepperoni slices.
Bake With Toppings. Bake the flatbread pizza for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
Serve. Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve hot.
Notes
You can substitute pepperoni with other toppings like mushrooms, olives, or bell peppers for a vegetarian option.
Use low-fat cottage cheese to reduce fat content if desired.
Line the baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
If you don’t have a blender, you can mix the flatbread ingredients vigorously by hand but the texture may be less smooth.
Allow the flatbread to cool slightly before adding toppings to help it hold together better.
