Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup cottage cheese Adds moisture and protein, making the flatbread soft.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Forms the structure; whole wheat can be a healthy substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Ensures the flatbread rises slightly for a lighter texture.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor; feel free to adjust to taste.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil A heart-healthy fat that keeps the dough tender.
  • as needed water water Helps to achieve the desired dough consistency.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix the cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. The mixture should start clumping together into a rough dough.
  2. Drizzle in the olive oil and mix until a dough forms. The healthier fat contributes to the silkiness of the flatbread.
  3. If the dough is too dry, add water a little at a time until it reaches the right consistency. Aim for a soft but not sticky dough that holds together.
  4. Divide the dough into small balls and roll each into flat disks. The thickness can vary depending on personal preference, but about 1/4 inch is a good starting point.
Cooking
  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook each flatbread for 2–3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
  2. Enjoy the flatbreads warm, optionally topped with herbs or additional cheese. They’re perfect for serving with a side salad or as wraps for your favorite fillings.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat on a skillet for the best texture. Freezing is an option for up to three months.
