Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (room temperature)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus extra for cooking)

Optional Herbs and Variations

  • Fresh or dried herbs such as rosemary, thyme, basil, or oregano
  • Pinch of cinnamon and drizzle of honey for a sweet version
  • Chili flakes or finely chopped jalapeños for a spicy kick
  • Plant-based cottage cheese for a vegan alternative

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather and measure all ingredients. If using herbs or spices, chop or mix them into the dough mixture at this stage.
  2. Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until a sticky dough forms. If the dough is too wet, add more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until workable.
  3. Shape the Flatbreads: Divide the dough into equal portions. Gently form each portion into a flat, round disc about 1/4-inch thick, being careful not to press too hard to maintain a light texture.
  4. Cook on a Hot Skillet: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed to avoid burning.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the flatbreads to cool slightly before serving. This helps flavors develop and the texture to set perfectly.

Notes

  • Use cottage cheese at room temperature for easier mixing and better dough consistency.
  • Handle the dough gently to avoid tough flatbreads.
  • Preheat your skillet properly for even cooking and a crispy outside.
  • Experiment with thickness: thinner flatbreads are crispier; thicker ones are softer.
  • Serve flatbreads warm for optimal taste and texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
  • Reheat in a hot skillet or oven at 350°F (175°C) to restore crispness.
