- Blend the cottage cheese until smooth.
- Mix the blended cottage cheese with the flour, baking powder and salt until a dough forms, then knead it into a smooth ball, dusting with extra flour as needed.
- Place the dough on parchment on a pizza pan or baking sheet, dust with flour, and press into a 12-inch circle, thin enough to get crispy edges.
- Rub the top of the crust with olive oil.
- Bake the plain crust on the top rack for 10 minutes, until slightly puffed and a little golden.
- Spread with the sauce and top with the mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake on the same top rack for 5 more minutes to melt the cheese.
- Broil for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese and crust edges are deeply golden.
