This Cottage Cheese Flatbread recipe offers a quick and delicious way to make soft, fluffy flatbreads with simple ingredients like cottage cheese and flour.

Ingredients
Flatbread Dough
- 1 Cup Cottage cheese
- 1 Cup All-purpose flour
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 Tsp Baking powder
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
- 2 Tbsps Olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Start the Dough: Add cottage cheese, all-purpose flour, egg, baking powder, and salt into a mixing bowl. These ingredients combine to form the base of your flatbread dough.
- Bring It Together Gently: Mix the ingredients gently until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. It’s not necessary for the dough to be perfectly smooth; just workable.
- Let the Dough Relax: Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 5 to 10 minutes. This resting period helps the dough to soften and makes it easier to handle when shaping.
- Divide Into Portions: Cut the dough into small, palm-sized pieces. Dividing the dough ensures that each flatbread cooks evenly and thoroughly.
- Shape Each Piece: Flatten each portion into a rough circle shape. Precision is not needed here—just form whatever shape feels right.
- Heat the Skillet: Warm a skillet over medium heat. Add a little olive oil by brushing or drizzling to prevent sticking and help achieve a golden crust.
- Cook Each Flatbread: Place one flattened dough piece onto the hot skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until the flatbread browns, puffs slightly, and releases a toasty aroma. Repeat with remaining pieces.
Notes
- The dough may be slightly sticky; dust your hands or surface with flour if necessary to handle better.
- Use a non-stick or well-seasoned skillet for best results to prevent sticking.
- Flatbreads are best served warm but can be stored in an airtight container and reheated gently.
- You can add herbs or spices like garlic powder or rosemary to the dough for added flavor.
- Adjust cooking time slightly depending on your stove and skillet to avoid burning.
