Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat based on preference)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus extra for cooking and brushing)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (such as parsley, chives, or herb medley)
  • Water, as needed (optional, about 1-2 tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir everything together until it forms a rough dough. If the dough feels too sticky, add a splash of water to bring it together.
  2. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. This step helps achieve the perfect texture.
  3. Divide and Shape: Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each out into thin rounds, about a quarter inch thick. Incorporate fresh herbs at this stage to infuse extra flavor.
  4. Cook the Flatbread: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and brush lightly with olive oil. Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown spots appear and the bread puffs slightly.
  5. Serve Warm: Serve the Cottage Cheese Flatbread warm, straight from the pan, to enjoy its best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh cottage cheese for creamier and more flavorful flatbreads.
  • Do not overwork the dough; knead just enough to bring it together for a tender result.
  • Cook on medium heat to ensure an even golden crust without burning.
  • Experiment by adding fresh or dried herbs directly to the dough for more flavor.
  • Brush cooked flatbreads with olive oil to keep them moist and delicious.
