Description

This Cottage Cheese Flatbread recipe is a quick and easy way to enjoy soft, warm flatbreads with a subtle tang from cottage cheese. Perfect as a snack or served alongside soups, curries, or dips, these flatbreads are made with simple pantry ingredients and cooked on the stovetop for a delightfully toasty flavor and pillowy texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Flatbread Dough

  • 1 Cup Cottage cheese
  • 1 Cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 Tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt
  • 2 Tbsps Olive oil
  • 1 Egg

Instructions

  1. Start the Dough: Add cottage cheese, flour, an egg, baking powder, and a little salt to a mixing bowl.
  2. Bring It Together Gently: Mix everything until it forms a soft, slightly sticky dough. It doesn’t need to be perfect, just workable.
  3. Let the Dough Relax: Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 5–10 minutes so it softens and becomes easier to handle.
  4. Divide Into Portions: Cut the dough into small, palm-sized pieces to ensure each flatbread cooks evenly.
  5. Shape Each Piece: Flatten each portion into a rough circle. It doesn’t have to be perfect; just shape it comfortably by hand.
  6. Heat the Skillet: Warm a skillet over medium heat and brush or drizzle a little olive oil to prepare for cooking.
  7. Cook Each Flatbread: Place one piece at a time onto the skillet, cooking for 2–3 minutes per side until it browns, puffs slightly, and smells toasty.
  8. Stack and Soften: Once cooked, stack the flatbreads under a towel so the steam keeps them warm and soft.
  9. Ready to Serve: Serve warm with curries, soups, or as a quick snack with cheese or hummus.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, brush the flatbreads with olive oil and sprinkle sea salt or za’atar immediately after cooking.
  • You can substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier variation, but the texture will be denser.
  • These flatbreads are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a day and reheated on a skillet.
