Ingredients
Scale
For the Flatbread:
- 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat, as preferred)
- 1 cup self-rising flour (or make your own by adding 1½ teaspoons baking powder and ¼ teaspoon salt to all-purpose flour)
- Optional: 1 teaspoon dried herbs (such as Italian seasoning, garlic powder, or rosemary)
For Cooking:
- 1–2 teaspoons olive oil or butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough:
- In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese and self-rising flour. Blend until a smooth dough forms. If using, add dried herbs for extra flavor.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1-2 minutes until smooth and pliable. Divide the dough into 4-6 equal portions, depending on your desired flatbread size.
2. Roll Out the Flatbread:
- Roll each portion of dough into a thin circle or oval, about ⅛-inch thick. Use a little flour to prevent sticking if needed.
3. Cook the Flatbread:
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with olive oil or butter.
- Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown spots appear and the bread puffs slightly. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
- Stack the cooked flatbreads on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft and warm.
- Serve immediately as a wrap, sandwich bread, or alongside soups, stews, or salads. Customize with toppings like hummus, avocado, or grilled veggies for a delicious meal!
