Preheat oven to 190 °C (375 °F). Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper; coat with cooking spray. Combine all crust ingredients in a large bowl. Spoon crust mixture into two 20-cm (8-inch) circles on prepared pan; smooth with a spoon to form an even layer. Bake until medium brown on bottom, 25 minutes; carefully flip over. Bake until evenly browned, 15 minutes more. Combine both types of cheeses in a medium bowl; scatter evenly across cooked crusts and sprinkle with sage. Return pizza to oven; bake until cheese melts, 57 minutes. Garnish with nutmeg; slice each pizza into 4 pieces and serve.
