Preheat & Prep. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and rub olive oil all over the inside of a 9-inch cake pan to help prevent the dough from sticking
Make the Crust. In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, cottage cheese, egg, and garlic powder until a smooth batter forms.
Shape the Dough. Put the cottage cheese mixture into the pan. Build up the edges slightly to create a crust, keeping the center thinner since it will puff as it bakes.
Bake the Crust. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden and firm.
Cool & Transfer. Let the crust cool for 5 minutes then remove it from the pan and transfer it to a baking sheet. You can do the whole recipe from start to finish in the cake pan, but transferring it to a sheet pan at this point just makes it easier to slice and serve later.
Assemble the Pizza. Spread ¾ cup pizza sauce evenly over the crust. Sprinkle 6 oz shredded mozzarella on top. Add pepperoni or your favorite toppings.
Final Bake. Bake at 375F for an additional 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the pepperoni is crispy. For a little extra crispiness, broil for 10 - 20 seconds. Keep an eye out, though, because it can quickly burn!
