Pizza Toppings
- ⅓ to ½ cup pizza sauce depending on how much you like
- 2/3 cup grated mozzarella cheese
- 9 slices pepperoni
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the cottage cheese and eggs together in a large mixing bowl until they are well combined. Add in the flour and salt and mix well until everything is combined. This mixture will be wet, thick and sticky, unlike regular pizza dough.
Pour the cottage cheese pie crust mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and use a rubber spatula to spread it evenly into a circle or rectangle shape. Avoid spreading the mixture too thin.
Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 27-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Remove the crust from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Spread your desired amount of sauce over the pre-baked crust, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and add any of your favorite toppings (I go with pepperoni).
Bake pizza for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese and pepperoni reach your desired level of golden brown goodness (I go with 8-10 minutes).
Remove the pizza from the oven and slide it onto a cutting board. You can do this by pulling on the parchment paper and sliding the pizza from the baking sheet to the cutting board, or you can use a large spatula to get underneath the pizza for transportation.
Cut the pizza into slices using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife. Serve and enjoy!
