Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese Can use full-fat or low-fat; full-fat yields a richer result.
- 1 cup whole wheat flour Provides a nutty flavor and structure.
- 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances flavors.
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder Gives lift to the flatbreads.
- 1 tablespoon olive oil Enriches the dough and aids browning.
- 2 tablespoon water Add more if needed to adjust dough consistency.
Optional Toppings
- herbs, cheese, vegetables Customize as desired.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, add the cottage cheese, whole wheat flour, salt, baking powder, and olive oil.
- Fold the ingredients together using a fork or spatula until they form a shaggy dough.
- If necessary, add water a teaspoon at a time until the dough holds together but isn’t sticky.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly, about 6–8 folds, until smooth.
Shaping and Cooking
- Divide the dough into 4–6 equal pieces and roll each into a thin disc, roughly 1/8–1/4 inch thick.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and place a flatbread in the pan.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Repeat with remaining discs, adjusting heat as necessary.
Serving
- Serve flatbreads warm with chosen toppings.
- Store in a clean towel to keep them pliable before serving.
Notes
Measure cottage cheese accurately; if too watery, drain briefly. Adjust heat for even cooking and prevent burning.
