  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Fresh minced garlic can be used for a more intense taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste, especially if using salty toppings.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper Can be omitted for a milder taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Herb Mix Substitute with individual dried herbs like oregano, basil, and thyme.
For the Toppings

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a blender, combine cottage cheese, eggs, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and Italian herbs. Blend until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the blended mixture onto the sheet, spreading into a thin circle about ¼ inch thick. Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Raise the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Spread pizza sauce over the baked flatbread, sprinkle with grated cheese, and add pepperoni. Return to the oven for 8-10 minutes until cheese melts.
  4. Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes. Cut into wedges or squares, and serve hot.
