4.1 from 21 reviews

A simple and quick recipe for fluffy, protein-packed cottage cheese flatbread that can be made with minimal ingredients. This versatile flatbread is perfect as a snack or accompaniment, boasting a tender texture and savory flavor enhanced with olive oil and sea salt.

Ingredients

Scale

Flatbread Dough

  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese (Use full-fat for best results)
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (Can substitute with whole wheat or self-rising flour)

Finishing Touches

  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (For brushing)
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt (Sprinkle for flavor)
  • Fresh Herbs or Cheese (Optional, for added flavor)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and all-purpose flour until a cohesive dough forms, ensuring the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  2. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic to develop structure.
  3. Divide and Shape: Cut the dough into 2-3 equal pieces and roll each piece into flat, round shapes about the thickness of typical flatbreads.
  4. Preheat Skillet: Place a skillet over medium-high heat and allow it to heat for 3-4 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  5. Cook the Flatbread: Cook each flatbread in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown spots appear and the bread is cooked through.
  6. Brush and Season: Remove from skillet, then brush each flatbread with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt for enhanced flavor and a glossy finish.
  7. Serve or Store: Serve the flatbreads immediately for best texture or store them in an airtight container for later use.

Notes

  • You can substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat or self-rising flour based on preference.
  • Adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme enhances the flavor.
  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for the best texture and richness.
  • These flatbreads are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated on a skillet.
  • If you prefer a thinner flatbread, roll the dough thinner and adjust cooking time accordingly.
