Ingredients
- 🧀 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat works best)
- 🍞 1 cup flour (all-purpose or whole wheat)
- 🥚 1 egg
- 🧂 Salt, to taste
- 🧈 Butter or olive oil for cooking
Optional:
- ½ tsp baking powder for fluffier texture
- Herbs like oregano or garlic powder for extra flavor
Instructions
1. Make the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg, flour, and a pinch of salt. Stir until a soft dough forms. If it’s too sticky, add a bit more flour.
2. Divide and Roll
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Lightly flour your surface and roll each piece into a flat circle, about ¼-inch thick.
3. Cook
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a little butter or oil. Cook each flatbread for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown spots form and it puffs slightly.
4. Serve Warm
Serve hot off the pan or store for later. These reheat beautifully and can be used in so many ways.
Tips for Success
- Strain your cottage cheese slightly if it’s too wet
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for richness
- Don’t overwork the dough — mix until just combined
- For extra fluff, add ½ tsp baking powder to the mix
