Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (drained if watery)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus extra for cooking
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option), plus extra for rolling
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: Combine the cottage cheese, egg, and olive oil in a mixing bowl. Stir well until creamy and smooth. Gradually add the baking powder, salt, and all-purpose flour, mixing gently until a soft, sticky dough forms.
  2. Rest the Dough: Let the dough rest for about 5 minutes to improve texture.
  3. Roll Out the Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and roll the dough into a flat circle or rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Rustic shapes are fine and add homemade charm.
  4. Cook the Flatbread: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small drizzle of olive oil. Place the flatbread onto the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown spots appear and the bread is cooked through.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove from the skillet and serve immediately. Optionally brush with additional olive oil or add your favorite toppings before serving.

Notes

  • Drain excess moisture from cottage cheese to avoid soggy dough.
  • Add flour gradually to keep the dough soft and tender.
  • Cook on medium heat to ensure even cooking without burning.
  • Rest the dough before rolling for better texture.
  • Add herbs just before cooking to preserve flavor and color.
