Method

Pizza Base

In a bowl, combine the self-raising flour, salt and cottage cheese. Mix until a dough ball starts to form. Knead to a soft smooth dough. Cover and leave to stand for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 225oC. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a shape that will fit your pizza pan. If your pan is small (less than 20cm in diameter), divide the dough in 2 and roll out separately. Use a rolling pin to transfer the pizza to the pizza pan(s).
Bake for 5 minutes and then remove from the oven. Pizza Topping
In a bowl, mix tomato puree, garlic, mixed herbs, sweetener and seasoning together. Spoon onto the pizza base(s) and spread out evenly.
Sprinkle the cheese over and top with your favorite ingredients. Bake for another 6-8 minutes until crispy on the edges and golden brown.
Cut into slices and serve immediately.

HINTS & TIPS: Add any optional toppings of your choice.
