# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The base comes together with almost no fuss, and the cottage cheese gives it the perfect tender bite.
  • It's customizable for everyone around the table, no matter what toppings you love or dietary needs you have.
02 -
  • Trying to spread the batter too thin led to a fragile base that broke apart—thicker is better.
  • Blending the cottage cheese properly made all the difference between dry and tender flatbread.
03 -
  • Let the blended cottage cheese rest five minutes before mixing to reduce wateriness.
  • Layer spinach near the top so it stays green and vibrant, not soggy.
