Description
A light and fluffy flatbread made with cottage cheese, perfect for a variety of toppings or enjoyed on its own.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon fine salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, optional
- ½ cup full-fat cottage cheese, well drained
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus extra for cooking
- 1 teaspoon fresh chopped herbs such as parsley or chives, optional
- 1 to 2 tablespoons water, if needed for dough consistency
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the drained cottage cheese, egg, olive oil, and chopped herbs. Use a fork or small whisk to break up the curds until the mixture becomes relatively smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until a shaggy dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add water 1 teaspoon at a time until it comes together into a soft, slightly sticky ball.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Fold and press the dough about 6 to 8 times to form a cohesive ball.
- Cover the dough ball with a towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each into a smooth ball, then flatten each ball into a round flatbread about ¼ inch thick.
- Warm a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat and brush lightly with olive oil.
- Cook each flatbread for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form and the underside is golden brown, then flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked flatbread to a plate and cover to keep warm while you repeat with the remaining dough.
Notes
Make-Ahead: Prepare the dough ahead and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Cooking alternatives include using an air fryer at 375°F for a crispier finish.
