# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The protein-packed base keeps you full with less guilt and comes together in a snap.
  • This pizza is endlessly customizable—you can load up the veggies or just stick to melty cheese, and it always impresses.
02 -
  • If you don't blend the cottage cheese smooth, the crust won't set properly—lumpy cheese makes soggy flatbreads.
  • Letting the base rest for a minute after baking gives it a stable surface for toppings without breaking.
03 -
  • Don't rush spreading the batter—even thickness gives the best base.
  • Add garlic and oregano after blending cottage cheese for a more fragrant crust.
