Cottage Cheese Pizza Ingredients
- Cottage Cheese: 1 cup
- Pizza Dough: 1 round
- Tomato Sauce: 1/2 cup
- Mozzarella Cheese: 1 cup, shredded
- Toppings: your choice (peppers, onions, pepperoni, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 475°F (245°C). This high temperature will ensure that your pizza crust turns golden brown and crispy.
- Prepare the Dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and shape. You can make it round, rectangular, or whatever floats your boat!
- Spread the Sauce: Evenly spread a layer of tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a little space around the edges for the crust.
- Add Cottage Cheese: Spoon dollops of cottage cheese over the tomato sauce, spreading it gently to cover the surface. This creates a creamy layer that all your toppings will sit on.
- Sprinkle the Cheese: Generously sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the cottage cheese layer. Feel free to add other cheeses for a more complex flavor.
- Layer Toppings: Add your favorite toppings according to your taste. Be creative—this is your chance to make the pizza uniquely yours!
- Bake the Pizza: Carefully place your pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Notes
- Use Full-Fat Cottage Cheese for a creamier texture.
- Let Dough Rest after rolling for easier shaping.
- Experiment with Spices to enhance flavor.
- Don’t Overload the Toppings to prevent sogginess.
- Use a Pizza Stone for a crispier crust if available.
