Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-sensitive diets)
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese (preferably full-fat)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg, and olive oil until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then gradually add it to the wet ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.
  2. Knead and Rest: Lightly flour your work surface and knead the dough gently for about 1-2 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes to relax the gluten and improve texture.
  3. Divide and Shape: Divide the dough into small equal portions and roll each piece into thin, round flatbreads about ¼ inch thick, perfect for quick and even cooking.
  4. Cook the Flatbreads: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden spots appear and the flatbread is cooked through but still soft.
  5. Serve Warm: Serve the Cottage Cheese Flatbread warm to enjoy its creamy texture and subtle flavors at their best, pairing beautifully with dips or toppings of choice.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for richer flavor and moisture.
  • Do not over-knead the dough to maintain tenderness and avoid toughness.
  • Adjust the flatbread thickness to preference: thinner for crispier, thicker for soft and pillowy.
  • Cook on medium heat for even cooking without burning.
  • Serve flatbreads immediately for best taste or reheat gently before serving.
