Can I make cottage cheese pizza crust without flour?

Yes. You can skip the flour entirely for a low-carb, grain-free version. The texture will be softer and more delicate, but it will still hold together after baking. Let it cool for a minute or two before adding toppings so it can firm up.

What kind of cottage cheese should I use?

Small curd cottage cheese works best. Either low-fat or full-fat will work. Low-fat gives a slightly lighter result, while full-fat adds a richer flavor. Avoid large curd if possible since it blends less smoothly.

Can I use almond flour in this recipe?

Yes. Almond flour is a great substitute for all-purpose flour in this recipe. It keeps the crust grain-free and lower in carbs. The texture will be slightly softer but still tasty.

How do I keep the crust from being soggy?

Make sure you spread the mixture evenly and not too thin. After the first bake, let it rest for one to two minutes before adding sauce and toppings. This helps the structure settle and prevents sogginess.
