Cottage Cheese Flatbread

Quick and rustic cottage cheese flatbread perfect for scooping, wrapping, or enjoying plain.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or 1 cup all-purpose + 1 cup whole wheat)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil (plus more for cooking)
  • 1/4 cup water (adding a tablespoon at a time if needed)
  • Optional: chopped herbs (parsley or dill), garlic powder, or za’atar for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until the dry ingredients begin to blend.
  2. Add olive oil and pour in water gradually, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 2–3 minutes until smooth.
  4. Divide the dough into 6–8 pieces, shape into balls, cover with a towel, and let rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Roll each ball into a thin round, between 1/8 and 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium heat, adding oil if desired. Cook each flatbread for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and puffy. Serve warm.

Notes

Flatbread can be stored in the fridge for up to 3–4 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat on a skillet or briefly in the oven.
