Preheat the oven together with a pizza stone or baking sheet to 450°F (230°C)
Blend the cottage cheese in a blender until smooth.
In a large bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, and salt. Start by mixing with a spoon, then switch to your hands until a sticky dough forms. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead with your hands until smooth. If the dough remains too sticky, gradually add up to 2 additional tablespoons of flour.
Dust with more flour, then roll the dough into a round crust of 12-inch diameter using a rolling pin.
Transfer the crust onto a parchment paper-lined pizza peel. Using the peel, slide the crust, along with the parchment paper, onto the preheated pizza stone/baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 7 minutes.
Remove the crust from the oven, spread with pizza sauce, sprinkle with oregano, then top with Parmesan and mozzarella cheese. Add pepperoni slices or your favorite toppings. Bake for another 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
I love to garnish the pizza with fresh basil leaves and freshly cracked black pepper before serving.

Portion Size: When making this pizza for dinner, I usually double the recipe for two people—so two pizzas—to make sure we’re full. I double the dough and divide it into two balls before rolling them out. To ensure crispy pizzas, bake them one at a time. Let the second rolled-out dough rest on a sheet of parchment paper at room temperature until it’s ready to go in the oven.
Baking Surface: If possible, use a pizza stone. This helps the pizza become crispier and rise better.
