Description

This Cottage Cheese Flatbread recipe is a quick and easy bread alternative that combines creamy cottage cheese and all-purpose flour to create soft, pillowy flatbreads. Cooked gently on the stovetop in a skillet, these flatbreads are perfect for serving alongside curries, soups, or as a tasty snack with cheese or hummus. The simple ingredients and minimal preparation make it an ideal choice for a wholesome, satisfying bread option.

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 (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 Egg

Instructions

  1. Start the Dough: Add cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, egg, and a little salt to a mixing bowl.
  2. Bring It Together Gently: Mix all ingredients until they form a soft, slightly sticky dough. It doesn’t need to be perfect, just workable.
  3. Let the Dough Relax: Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 5–10 minutes so it softens and becomes easier to handle.
  4. Divide Into Portions: Cut the dough into small, palm-sized pieces so each flatbread cooks evenly.
  5. Shape Each Piece: Flatten each portion into a rough circle. The shape does not need to be perfect; just whatever feels right in the moment.
  6. Heat the Skillet: Warm a skillet over medium heat and brush or drizzle a little olive oil to prepare for toasting.
  7. Cook Each Flatbread: Place one piece of dough at a time onto the skillet, cooking for 2–3 minutes per side until it browns, puffs slightly, and develops a toasty aroma.
  8. Stack and Soften: When cooked, stack the flatbreads under a towel to trap steam, keeping them warm and pillowy soft.
  9. Ready to Serve: Serve warm alongside curries, soups, or as a quick snack with cheese or hummus for a delicious and comforting bite.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, brush freshly cooked flatbreads with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt or za’atar right after cooking.
  • You can substitute the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor and increased fiber content.
  • If the dough is too sticky to handle, add a little more flour, a teaspoon at a time.
  • These flatbreads are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and gently reheated in a skillet.
