Servings:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
In a medium bowl, add cottage cheese and self-rising flour. Mix with a wooden spoon and then finish with clean hands and form the dough into a ball. Note: it will be a little bit sticky! If it feels way too sticky and unmanageable, coat your hands with a small amount of flour and continue to form into a ball. Repeat if necessary, adding a very small amount of additional flour at a time.
Next, lightly flour some parchment paper. First press the dough flat with your hands and then roll the dough out into a pizza shape with a lightly floured rolling pin. The dough should be quite thin but still durable. You can also use any floured cylinder shape to roll the dough, like a cup (use something non-breakable, like a plastic tumbler). Note: Since the dough will be somewhat sticky, I recommend doing this directly on the parchment paper that you'll be baking on.
Transfer your parchment paper and pizza crust to a baking sheet. Spread your pizza sauce evenly on the rolled out pizza dough.
Top with shredded cheese and pepperoni. You can also add any additional toppings that you'd like at this point.
Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes until cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown. Note: If you like less sauce and less toppings, it will be done closer to 20 minutes. If you have more sauce and more toppings, it will likely take a few minutes longer.
