Notes

For a dairy-free option, replace cottage cheese with blended silken tofu.
To use as a pizza crust, bake for 20 minutes, then add toppings and bake for another 10 minutes.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or skillet for best texture.
Freezing: Freeze in individual portions and reheat as needed.
