Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat, drained)
  • 1 cup self-rising flour (or gluten-free self-rising flour or almond flour for gluten-free option)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Measure equal parts of cottage cheese and self-rising flour. In a bowl, gently combine the two until they start to form dough. Avoid over-mixing to preserve the texture.
  2. Form the Dough: Knead the mixture lightly with your hands just until a soft dough forms. The dough will be slightly sticky; dust your hands or work surface with flour if needed.
  3. Shape the Flatbreads: Divide the dough into smaller portions. Roll or press each portion onto parchment paper to about a quarter-inch thickness, forming roughly 6-inch circles or your preferred shape.
  4. Cook on the Stovetop: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden spots appear and the bread feels firm but tender.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove from heat and serve immediately or keep warm wrapped in a clean towel. Flatbreads are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for later use.

Notes

  • Drain excess moisture from cottage cheese using a strainer or cheesecloth for less sticky dough.
  • Do not overwork the dough to maintain tenderness and fluffiness.
  • Use non-stick cookware to ensure even cooking without added oil or fat.
  • Adjust flatbread thickness as preferred; thinner cooks faster, thicker gives a chewier texture.
  • Experiment with adding herbs, seeds, or spices before cooking for enhanced flavor.
