Equipment

Ingredients
  

Dough Base:

  • 1 cup cottage cheese 4% milk fat recommended
  • Substitution: Greek yogurt for a less fluffy result
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour or 50% whole wheat for a heartier texture
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Flavor Enhancers:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter for a richer taste
  • 1 tablespoon honey optional (or maple syrup for a different sweetness)
  • 1 teaspoon dried herbs optional (rosemary, thyme, or Italian blend)

Instructions
 

Preheat Your Cooking Surface:

  • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly oil the surface.

Mix the Dough:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, salt, olive oil, and optional ingredients.
  • Stir until a shaggy dough forms.

Knead the Dough:

  • Turn the dough onto a floured surface.
  • Knead gently for 1-2 minutes until the dough becomes smooth but slightly tacky.

Shape the Flatbreads:

  • Divide the dough into 4-6 equal pieces.
  • Roll or flatten each piece into a 1/4-inch thick round.

Cook to Perfection:

  • Place flatbreads in the hot skillet.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown spots appear and they puff slightly.

Notes

  • Storage: Store at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
