Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup liquid egg whites
  • 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Pinch of salt

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 12 slices turkey pepperoni

Optional Garnish

  • Chopped chives or parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Crust Mixture: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, liquid egg whites, gluten-free flour, garlic powder, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Shape the Base: Pour the blended mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly into a flat oval or circle, about 1/4 inch thick, ensuring a uniform thickness for even baking.
  4. Bake Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20 to 22 minutes or until it is set and turns golden brown.
  5. Add Toppings: Remove the crust from the oven. Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the crust, sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese, and arrange the turkey pepperoni slices on top.
  6. Final Bake: Return the flatbread to the oven and bake for an additional 8 to 10 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
  7. Garnish and Serve: If desired, garnish with chopped chives or parsley for added freshness. Slice the flatbread and serve hot for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Make sure to spread the crust mixture evenly to avoid uneven baking.
  • Use gluten-free flour to keep the recipe gluten-free.
  • You can substitute turkey pepperoni with regular pepperoni or omit for a vegetarian option.
  • Optional herbs like chives or parsley add a fresh brightness to the finished pizza.
  • Let the flatbread cool slightly to set before slicing for cleaner cuts.
