Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

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

Optional Herbs or Spices

  • Garlic powder, rosemary, chives, basil, oregano, thyme (to taste)
  • Crushed red pepper flakes or finely chopped jalapeños (for spicy variation)
  • Cinnamon and honey (for sweet twist)
  • Shredded mozzarella, parmesan, or sharp cheddar cheese (for extra cheesiness)

Instructions

  1. Combine Wet Ingredients: Whisk the egg and olive oil together in a bowl until fully combined, then gently fold in the cottage cheese to create a moist, flavorful base.
  2. Mix in Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour (or gluten-free alternative), baking powder, salt, and any chosen herbs or spices. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead the Dough Lightly: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead just a few times to incorporate everything without overworking the dough, ensuring tenderness.
  4. Shape the Flatbreads: Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a thin, round flatbread approximately 1/4 inch thick, keeping sizes uniform for even cooking.
  5. Cook the Flatbread: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook each flatbread 2-3 minutes per side until golden spots appear and the bread puffs slightly.
  6. Serve Warm: Serve the flatbread warm, either plain or topped with your favorite herbs, cheeses, or condiments.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for better moisture and richer flavor.
  • Do not over-mix or over-knead the dough to keep the flatbread soft and tender.
  • Allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes to help hydration and pliability.
  • Cook on medium heat to avoid burning or drying out the flatbread.
  • Keep cooked flatbreads warm under a clean towel while preparing the rest.
