Ingredients

Scale

Flatbread Dough

1 cup cottage cheese (blended smooth)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (optional)

For Cooking and Serving

1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for brushing)
Additional chopped fresh herbs for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

Blend the Cottage Cheese: Blend the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor until smooth and creamy to form the base of your flatbread dough.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and optionally garlic powder and fresh chopped herbs to add flavor.
Combine Dough: Stir the blended cottage cheese into the dry ingredients until a shaggy dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead gently for 2 to 3 minutes until the dough is soft and smooth, preparing it for shaping.
Rest the Dough: Cover the dough with a towel and allow it to rest for 10 to 15 minutes, which helps develop texture and makes rolling easier.
Shape the Flatbreads: Divide the rested dough into 6 to 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball then flatten into discs about 1/4 inch thick for uniform cooking.
Cook the Flatbreads: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and puffed.
Finish and Serve: Brush the cooked flatbreads with olive oil or butter, and sprinkle with additional fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm for best flavor.

Notes

Blending the cottage cheese until smooth is key for a tender flatbread texture.
You can customize the flavor by adding your favorite herbs or spices in the dough.
Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and to achieve an evenly cooked crust.
These flatbreads are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in a skillet or oven.
Optional brushing with olive oil or butter adds extra flavor and moisture.
