1

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).

2

In a Neutra Bullet cup, blend 1 cup of 2% cottage cheese until smooth (about 20 seconds).

3

In a medium-sized bowl, combine 1 cup of self-rising flour with the blended cottage cheese and stir until a dough starts to form.

4

Lightly flour a cutting board with 1/8 cup of self-rising flour to knead and roll out the dough.

5

Knead the dough for about 2-3 minutes until combined.

6

Spritz a 12-inch pizza pan with olive oil to prevent sticking and add crispiness.

7

Roll out the dough into a rough 12-inch circle and place it on the pizza pan.

8

Spritz the rolled-out dough with more olive oil.

9

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 8 minutes to seal it and prevent sogginess.

10

Remove the crust from the oven and spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce on top.

11

Sprinkle 4 oz of part-skim mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

12

Add 16 slices of turkey pepperoni on top of the cheese.

13

Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the toppings.

14

Return the pizza to the oven at 450°F for about 5 minutes until the cheese is melted.

15

Let the pizza cool for a couple of minutes before slicing it into 8 slices.
