1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

3. In a bowl, mix the blended cottage cheese, almond flour, eggs, mozzarella, baking powder, salt, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
4. Spread the dough onto the baking sheet into a 1/4-inch thick circle or rectangle.
5. Bake the crust for 12–15 minutes until golden and set.

Notes
Always blend the cottage cheese smooth for the best crust texture.
Avoid overloading the crust with toppings to prevent sogginess.
Let the pizza cool a few minutes before slicing to help it hold together better.
