Notes
How to Make Cottage Cheese Pizza Crust Crispy
If you prefer a crispy crust, there are a few tips to achieve that perfect texture:
- Use a Thin Layer: When shaping your dough, aim for a thinner crust to help it crisp up in the oven.
- Pre-bake the Crust: Pre-baking the crust for 10-12 minutes before adding toppings will help create a crispy foundation.
- Bake on a Pizza Stone: If you have one, a pizza stone can help achieve a crispier crust by evenly distributing the heat.
