Method

Step-By-Step Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather your ingredients and have an oven-safe bowl ready for mixing.
Blend the Base: In your prepared oven-safe bowl, add the cottage cheese and blend it until smooth. Mix in the pizza sauce, gluten-free or almond flour, chopped peppers, sliced red onions, black olives, and season with oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well until combined.
Add the Toppings: Evenly sprinkle the light mozzarella cheese over the top of your mixture. Layer on the turkey pepperoni slices in an aesthetically pleasing manner.
Bake to Perfection: Transfer your pizza bowl into the preheated oven. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Adjust time for thickness preference.
Garnish and Serve: Let the pizza bowl cool for a minute. Garnish with fresh basil, parsley, or Parmesan cheese before serving.
