Ingredients
 

For the Crust

For the Toppings (customize as desired)

  • ½ cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
  • 4 ounces mozzarella cheese sliced or shredded
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese optional
  • Toppings of choice pepperoni, vegetables, sausage, mushrooms, etc.
  • Fresh basil or red pepper flakes for garnish

Instructions

Bake the Crust

  • Prepare and bake one batch of Cottage Cheese Pizza Crust according to the recipe instructions. The crust should be golden and set before adding toppings.

Assemble the Pizza

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the pre-baked crust, leaving a small border around the edges. Top with mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. Add parmesan (if using) and your desired toppings.

Bake the Pizza

  • Bake the assembled pizza for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown.

Slice and Serve

  • Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2–3 minutes. Slice with a pizza cutter, then garnish with fresh basil or red pepper flakes, if desired.

Notes

*The nutritional value will vary depending on your toppings and the cheese you use. 
  • Refrigerate: Store leftover slices in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat: Warm in a 375°F oven or air fryer for 5–7 minutes to crisp the crust again.
  • Freeze: Freeze baked slices in a single layer, then store in a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
