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
- Start the Dough: Add cottage cheese, all-purpose flour, an egg, baking powder, and a little salt to a mixing bowl.
- Bring It Together Gently: Mix all the ingredients until they form a soft, slightly sticky dough that’s workable but not perfect.
- Let the Dough Relax: Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 5–10 minutes so it softens and becomes easier to handle during shaping.
- Divide Into Portions: Cut the rested dough into small, palm-sized pieces to ensure even cooking of each flatbread.
- Shape Each Piece: Flatten each dough portion into a rough circle. It doesn’t have to be perfectly shaped—just a comfortable size and thickness.
- Heat the Skillet: Warm a skillet over medium heat and brush or drizzle with a little olive oil to prevent sticking and help browning.
- Cook Each Flatbread: Place one flattened dough piece onto the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until the flatbread browns nicely, puffs slightly, and releases a toasty aroma.
- Stack and Soften: Once cooked, stack the flatbreads and cover them with a towel so the steam keeps them warm and soft.
- Ready to Serve: Serve warm with curries, soups, or as a quick snack with cheese, hummus, or your favorite spreads.
Notes
- For extra flavor, brush the flatbreads with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt or za’atar immediately after cooking.
- You can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose to add a nuttier flavor and more fiber.
- These flatbreads are best eaten fresh but can be reheated in a skillet or microwave.
