Ingredients

For the Pizza Crust

¼ cup all purpose flour or GF AP flour substitute
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ cup cottage cheese I used Good Culture 2%
1 large egg

For Topping

2 tablespoons pizza sauce or Basil Pesto
3 to 4 tablespoons Mozzarella cheese
½ cup shredded chicken or cooked, crumbled turkey sausage or meatless sausage
Small handful sliced cherry tomatoes
Chopped fresh basil
Balsamic glaze optional

Instructions

Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 375°F.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and egg. Sprinkle the flour and baking powder over the top. With a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, stir to evenly combine.
Place sheet of parchment paper on top of a baking sheet (or pizza stone). Spread the cottage cheese mixture into a round crust shape that is about 8 inches across.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden at the edges and dry to the touch on top. Remove from the oven. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F.
Spread crust with the sauce, sprinkle with Mozzarella cheese, and scatter on the chicken and tomatoes. Return to the oven and bake 5 to 8 minutes more, until the Mozzarella is melted.
Finish with fresh basil and balsamic glaze. Let cool a few minutes, then slice and enjoy.
