Does this pizza taste like cottage cheese?

No, the cottage cheese blends into the dough, giving it a light, slightly chewy texture without an overpowering taste.

Can I make this pizza crust gluten-free?

Yes, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and add an extra ½ teaspoon baking powder for better texture.

What type of cottage cheese should I use?

Full-fat cottage cheese works best for texture and flavor, but you can use low-fat if preferred.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, the dough can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to two days before baking.
