Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese (strained if watery)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or substitute with gluten-free or almond flour)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese and flour until a soft dough forms, ensuring the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
- Knead Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 2 to 3 minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable.
- Divide and Roll: Divide the dough into 2 or 3 equal pieces. Roll each piece out on a floured surface to approximately 1/4-inch thickness.
- Preheat Cooking Method: Preheat a skillet over medium heat or alternatively preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) if baking.
- Cook Flatbread: If using a skillet, cook each flatbread for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden and slightly puffed. If baking, place flatbreads on a baking sheet and bake for 6 to 8 minutes until golden.
- Optional Toppings: Optionally, brush each flatbread with olive oil or butter and sprinkle with your choice of herbs or spices for added flavor.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the flatbread to cool slightly before serving or storing for later use.
Notes
- Straining the cottage cheese removes excess moisture, which helps achieve a better dough texture.
- You can substitute the all-purpose flour with gluten-free or almond flour to suit dietary preferences.
- Cooking on the stovetop yields a softer flatbread, while baking gives a slightly crispier texture.
- Add herbs like rosemary, thyme, or garlic powder to the dough for extra flavor.
- Store leftovers wrapped in foil or in an airtight container to keep them soft.
