Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F), preferably on convection setting, though not mandatory.
- Make the dough: In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, eggs, almond butter or tahini, and salt. Add almond flour and baking powder and mix until a thick batter forms.
- Shape the crusts: Transfer the batter to a baking sheet (for best results, divide into four portions). Using a spoon, shape into evenly thick circles.
- Bake the crusts: Bake for about 10 minutes, until the dough sets and dries out slightly. Meanwhile, mix the tomato sauce ingredients and prepare the cheese and toppings.
- Add toppings: Remove the crusts from the oven. Spread a layer of tomato sauce over each base, then sprinkle with cheese and your desired toppings.
- Bake again: Return to the oven, this time placing the tray on the upper rack. Bake until the cheese melts and the pizzas are golden and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm, with love.
