# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get crispy-edged pizza without the guilt or blood sugar spike that comes with traditional dough.
  • The protein count means you actually stay full, not hunting the kitchen an hour later.
  • It comes together in 35 minutes flat, which beats ordering delivery by the time the app loads.
02 -
  • Not blending the cottage cheese smooth enough leaves grainy spots throughout, which I learned the frustrating way on my first attempt.
  • Spreading the batter thinner than 1/3-inch creates crispy edges but a dry interior, so measure by eye and remember less thickness equals faster baking.
03 -
  • Room temperature cottage cheese blends smoother and creates a more uniform batter than cold straight from the fridge.
  • Spreading the batter with slightly wet hands or a damp spatula prevents sticking and creates a more even thickness.
