Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper so the crust doesn’t stick and browns evenly. Make sure the parchment covers the entire tray.

Add the cottage cheese and eggs to a mixing bowl or blender. Blend or whisk until completely smooth and creamy. This step helps the crust bake evenly and keeps it from turning grainy.

Sprinkle in the whey protein, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian herbs, salt, pepper, and optional oat flour if you want a thicker, firmer crust. Stir gently until a thick, spoonable batter forms. Avoid overmixing — stop as soon as everything is combined.

Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it into a round or rectangle shape, depending on how you like your pizza. Spread it evenly so the crust bakes consistently. A thinner layer will make a crispier crust; a slightly thicker layer will stay softer and chewy.

Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the crust looks golden around the edges and feels set in the center when lightly touched. If it still feels wet, give it 2–3 more minutes.

Remove the crust from the oven and add your toppings. Spread a thin layer of sauce, sprinkle cheese, and add any toppings you love — veggies, cooked chicken, turkey pepperoni, olives, or anything else that fits your macros.

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5–8 minutes, or until the cheese has melted completely and the toppings are heated through. For extra browning, you can broil the top for 1–2 minutes — just keep an eye on it.

Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing. This helps the crust firm up and makes the slices easier to pick up without breaking.
