Description
Soft, golden flatbread made with creamy cottage cheese — perfect for dipping, topping, or enjoying on its own. Quick, versatile, and delicious!
Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour: 1 cup – the sturdy base that gives the flatbread body and chew.
- Cottage Cheese: 1 cup (full-fat, small curd) – adds creaminess, moisture, and protein.
- Baking Powder: 1 teaspoon – for a gentle rise and fluffier texture.
- Salt: ½ teaspoon – brings out the flavor in the cheese and dough.
- Garlic Powder (optional): ½ teaspoon – infuses a savory depth.
- Olive Oil or Butter: 1 tablespoon (for cooking) – ensures a golden, crispy finish.
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Heat a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat while you prepare the dough.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder (if using). Add the cottage cheese and mix until a dough forms.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Lightly grease the skillet with olive oil or butter and keep it warm over medium heat.
- Assemble the Dish: Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Flatten each one with your hands or a rolling pin to about ¼-inch thickness.
- Cook to Perfection: Place one flatbread at a time into the hot skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and puffed.
- Finishing Touches: Brush the warm flatbreads with more olive oil or melted butter. Sprinkle with herbs or flaky salt if desired.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm as is or pair with your favorite dip, salad, or main dish.
Notes
- Drain excess liquid from cottage cheese if too watery.
- Let dough rest 5 minutes for easier handling.
- Customize with herbs, spices, or cheese mix-ins.
- Freeze leftovers with parchment between layers for up to a month.
