# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No one ever guesses that cottage cheese is the secret to this rich, surprisingly pillowy crust.
  • You customize every topping, and cleanup is ridiculously quick.
02 -
  • Once I rushed and skipped parchment paper—big mistake, as the crust cemented to the pan like edible glue.
  • Blending the cottage cheese fully is non-negotiable—a few lumps will haunt your crust’s texture!
03 -
  • Bake the crusts fully before adding sauce so they don’t soften underneath the toppings.
  • A quick broil at the end crisps up the top for extra pizza-shop flair.
