Directions
For crust, mix ¾ cup of the flour, the yeast, sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
Add oil and ½ cup warm water (120-130 deg).
Beat with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, scraping the bowl.
Beat on high speed 3 minutes.
Stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can.
Then, knead in enough remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (5 minutes total).
Shape into a ball.
Place in a greased bowl; turn once.
Cover; let rise in a warm place until double (about 30 minutes).
Punch down.
Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
On a floured surface roll dough into a 14 inch circle.
Place on a pizza pan sprayed with non stick cooking spray and sprinkled with cornmeal.
Build up edges slightly.
Bake crust in 425℉ (220℃) F oven about 10 minutes or lightly browned.
In a blender combine cottage cheese, egg, parmesan cheese, basil, garlic, and ⅛ teaspoon pepper.
Cover; blend until smooth.
Spread over hot crust.
Cut green pepper into rings.
Place atop pizza with mushrooms.
Sprinkle with Mozzarella.
Bake in 425℉ (220℃) oven until hot.
