Notes
To have a perfect circle pizza crust you can place a big plate on top and trace it with a knife.
You can replace cottage cheese with Greek yogurt and keep the same ration 1:1.
You can add in some Italian seasonings or dried oregano to your dough but the spinach garlic topping was enough flavor for me.
If placed in airtight containers, the leftover pizza can last for up to 5 days in the fridge.
It can last in the freezer for up to 6 months in a freezer safe bag.
You can reheat it in an oven, air fryer or the microwave.
