Ingredients
- Basic Ingredients
- 1 cup Cottage Cheese
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil optional
- Optional Add-InsAdd-Ins
- Fresh herbs: parsley dill, chives.
- Spices: garlic powder paprika, chili flakes.
- Just a little shredded cheese makes it even richer.
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: combine cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Using a spoon or spatula, mix thoroughly until the dough takes shape. Should the mixture feel too sticky, gradually add flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it becomes easier to handle.
- Knead the Dough : lightly flour a clean surface. Knead the dough gently for 2-3 minutes until smooth and soft, avoiding overworking it.
- Divide and Shape: evenly divide the dough into four portions. Roll each piece into a smooth, uniform ball, and carefully press it into a flat disc around 1 cm thick.
- Cook the Flatbread: heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Optionally, add olive oil for a golden finish. Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden spots appear.
- Serve and Enjoy: serve warm with your favorite dips, spreads, or toppings.
Notes
Tips for Perfect Flatbread
- Choose the Right Cottage Cheese: Full-fat provides creaminess, while low-fat is lighter; adjust flour for wetter cheese.
- Don’t Overknead: Mix until smooth—overworking can make the bread dense.
- Experiment with Flavors: Add your favorite herbs, spices, or a hint of lemon zest.
- Try Gluten-Free Options: Replace all-purpose flour with almond or oat flour, adjusting the amount for dough consistency.
