Method
- First, preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Make sure the parchment lies flat so the crust spreads evenly and does not pool in one area.
- Next, add the cottage cheese to a medium mixing bowl. Crack the eggs directly into the bowl. Then sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt.
- After that, whisk everything together until completely combined. Continue whisking until the mixture looks smooth and uniform, with only small curds visible. The batter will be loose and pourable, which is exactly what you want.
- Then, pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a rubber spatula, gently spread it into a thin, even circle about 8 to 9 inches wide. Smooth the top so there are no thick ridges, since uneven spots can brown too quickly.
- Next, place the baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the crust looks set, lightly golden around the edges, and slightly firm in the center. The surface should not jiggle when you gently shake the pan.
- After baking, remove the crust from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. This resting time helps it firm up and makes it easier to add toppings.
- Then, add your favorite low carb pizza sauce and spread it evenly over the surface. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and any desired toppings over the sauce.
- Finally, return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 7 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
If using 4% cottage cheese, the crust may brown slightly faster. Check it at the 35-minute mark.
Allow the crust to cool briefly before adding toppings to help it firm up properly.
For a crispier edge, bake a few extra minutes before adding sauce.
