Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour for a healthier twist
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Fresh herbs (optional, such as parsley or dill)
- Water (as needed to adjust dough consistency)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until the mixture starts to come together. Add olive oil and gradually incorporate water as needed until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for a few minutes until smooth.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 15 minutes. Resting helps to develop the gluten and makes the flatbreads softer and more pliable.
- Divide the dough into equal portions. Roll each portion into a flat circle about ¼ inch thick. Use a rolling pin and dust lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place a flatbread in the hot pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and puffed. Repeat with remaining dough. Optionally, brush with additional olive oil or butter for extra flavor.
Notes
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for richer flavor and tenderness.
- Adjust the water amount depending on the moisture content of your cottage cheese.
- Add herbs or spices to customize flavor—garlic powder, cumin, or paprika work well.
- Serve immediately for the best texture, or store for later use.
