Cottage Cheese Flatbread Recipe


  • Author: lacen tagul

Ingredients

All-purpose flour or whole wheat flour – base of the flatbread (whole wheat adds nuttiness)

Cottage cheese – preferably full-fat for a creamy texture (low-fat works too)

Baking powder or yeast – baking powder for quick rise, yeast for traditional flavor

Salt – to enhance flavor

Warm water or milk – to bind dough and keep it soft

Optional Add-ins:

Fresh herbs (dill, parsley, cilantro)

Garlic powder or onion flakes

Seeds (sesame, flax, chia)


Instructions

1. Mixing the Dough

Sift flour into a large mixing bowl.

Add baking powder and salt; mix well.

Slowly pour in warm water or milk while stirring until a shaggy dough forms.

2. Adding Cottage Cheese

Mix cottage cheese into the dough with a spoon or your hands until evenly distributed. Dough will be soft and slightly sticky.

3. Kneading the Dough

Transfer to a floured surface and knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Add a little flour if too sticky.

4. Rolling & Shaping

Divide dough into equal portions.

Roll each into a ball, then flatten to about ¼ inch thick (circle, oval, or rectangle).

5. Cooking Methods

Stovetop:

Heat cast iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat.

Cook each flatbread 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown spots appear and bread puffs slightly.

Oven-Baked:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Place flatbreads on parchment-lined baking tray.

Bake 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway, for a crispier result.

Notes

Use room-temperature ingredients for better dough texture.

Rest dough 20–30 minutes before rolling for softer bread.

Monitor heat to avoid burning.
