Flatbread Base
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian herb mix
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
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.
- Mix Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and Italian herb mix. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
- Form Flatbread: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the blended mixture onto the sheet, spreading it evenly into a thin circle to form the flatbread base.
- Bake Flatbread: Bake the flatbread in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until it turns golden brown and firm.
- Increase Oven Temperature: After the flatbread is baked, increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the pizza toppings.
- Add Toppings: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the baked flatbread. Then sprinkle the grated cheese on top and arrange the pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese.
- Bake Pizza: Return the flatbread with toppings to the oven and bake for an additional 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, spread the flatbread mixture thinly and bake fully before adding toppings.
- Feel free to customize the toppings with vegetables or other proteins according to preference.
- Use a blender or food processor for a smooth flatbread batter to ensure even baking.
- Let the flatbread cool slightly before slicing to maintain shape and texture.
