# Ingredient List:

→ Flatbread Base

01 - 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat)
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/2 cup oat flour or finely ground rolled oats
04 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
06 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

→ Pizza Toppings

08 - 1/2 cup pizza sauce
09 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
10 - 1/2 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
11 - 1/4 cup sliced black olives
12 - 1/4 cup baby spinach leaves
13 - Fresh basil leaves for garnish

# How to Make:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a blender or food processor, process the cottage cheese until completely smooth.
03 - Combine the blended cottage cheese, eggs, oat flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, and oregano in a mixing bowl. Stir until a thick batter forms.
04 - Divide the batter evenly. Spoon each portion onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into oval or round shapes, each about 1/4 inch thick.
05 - Bake for 15 minutes, or until the flatbreads are firm and lightly golden.
06 - Remove flatbreads from the oven. Spread pizza sauce evenly over each base. Add mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, black olives, spinach, and additional toppings as desired.
07 - Return to the oven and bake for 5 more minutes, until cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
08 - Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve warm.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It feels like a secret hack for pizza lovers who want something protein-packed and guilt-free.
  • Changing up the toppings each time turns dinner into a joyful, creative ritual.
02 -
  • Baking the flatbread too thin makes it fragile so keep to 1/4 inch for sturdiness.
  • Patting toppings like olives and tomatoes dry before adding prevents a soggy pizza.
03 -
  • If your flatbread seems too pale, broil the pizza for one minute to deepen color and meld cheese.
  • For perfect rounds, use a large spoon and dampen your fingers to spread the batter thinly and evenly.
