Ingredients

Scale

Flatbread Dough Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Cottage cheese
  • 1 Cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 Tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt
  • 2 Tbsps Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Start the Dough: Add cottage cheese, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt into a mixing bowl.
  2. Bring It Together: Gently mix the ingredients until it forms a soft, slightly sticky dough that is workable but not perfect.
  3. Let the Dough Relax: Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 5–10 minutes to soften, making it easier to shape.
  4. Divide Into Portions: Cut the dough into small, palm-sized pieces to ensure even cooking of each flatbread.
  5. Shape Each Piece: Flatten each piece into a rough circle shape, aiming for a rustic, hand-formed look.
  6. Heat the Skillet: Warm a skillet over medium heat and brush or drizzle some olive oil to prepare for cooking.
  7. Cook Each Flatbread: Place one piece at a time onto the hot skillet, cooking for 2–3 minutes on each side until it browns, puffs slightly, and develops a toasty aroma.
  8. Stack and Soften: Once cooked, stack the flatbreads under a clean towel to keep them warm and maintain their soft, pillowy texture.
  9. Ready to Serve: Serve warm as an accompaniment to curries, soups, or enjoy as a quick snack with cheese or hummus.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for a richer flavor and softer texture.
  • Resting the dough is important for easier shaping and better texture.
  • The flatbreads are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave before serving.
  • You can add herbs or spices to the dough for extra flavor if desired.
