A little prep the night before – mixing the dough, chopping your toppings and storing everything in the fridge – means you can have it on the table in no time. The secret ingredient? Cottage cheese. It’s creamy, light and packed with protein, making it a clever swap for mozzarella. Plus, we’ve added a few grilling tips to help you get that perfectly crisp base.
