Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (small curd, full-fat or low-fat)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1–2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter (for cooking)
- Optional: garlic powder, chopped herbs, or grated cheese for added flavor
Instructions
-
In a food processor or mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, egg, flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
Blend or mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Add a little more flour if too wet.
-
Divide dough into 4 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
-
On a floured surface, flatten and roll each dough ball into a thin round (~1/4 inch thick).
-
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Brush with oil or butter.
-
Cook each flatbread for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Stack cooked flatbreads and wrap in a clean towel to keep warm and soft.
Notes
-
Add herbs like parsley or oregano for savory flavor.
-
Mix in grated cheese for extra richness.
-
For a sweet version, add cinnamon and a touch of honey.
-
Whole wheat or oat flour can be used for a more wholesome twist.
-
Works great as a base for flatbread pizza—just add toppings and broil.
