Ingredients
  

For the Flatbread Base
  • 1 cup Full-fat cottage cheese Ensure to drain excess liquid for the best texture.
  • 1/2 cup Liquid egg whites Acts as a binder; substitute with whole eggs if desired.
  • 1 cup Gluten-free flour Almond flour or coconut flour can be used as a substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder Fresh minced garlic can also be used.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning Substitute with dried oregano and basil if desired.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Essential for seasoning; adjust to taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper Essential for seasoning; adjust to taste.
For the Toppings
  • 1/2 cup Marinara sauce Choose a low-sodium option for a healthier alternative.
  • 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese Can substitute with a vegan cheese for a dairy-free option.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Blend the drained cottage cheese, egg whites, gluten-free flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Spread the cottage cheese mixture onto the baking sheet, forming a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
  4. Bake for 32-35 minutes, until golden brown. The edges should be firm, and the center cooked through.
  5. Remove from oven, spread marinara sauce, sprinkle cheese, and arrange turkey pepperoni on top.
  6. Return to oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until cheese melts. For crispiness, switch to broil for the last 2 minutes.
  7. Let the flatbread cool for 7-10 minutes. Cut into 8 equal pieces and serve.
