Ingredients You’ll Need

1 cup cottage cheese (small curd or blended smooth)
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil (plus extra for cooking)
2 tbsp milk or water (if needed, for dough consistency)
Optional: ½ tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried herbs (oregano, thyme, or rosemary)

How to Make Cottage Cheese Flatbread

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, salt, and olive oil. Stir until a dough starts to form. If the dough feels too dry, add 1-2 tbsp of milk or water to bring it together. Knead for 2-3 minutes until soft and slightly elastic.

Step 2: Divide & Roll

Divide the dough into 4-6 equal portions. Roll each piece into a thin, round flatbread (about ¼-inch thick).

Step 3: Cook the Flatbread

Heat a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat with a light drizzle of olive oil. Cook each flatbread for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown spots appear and the bread puffs up slightly.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!

Remove from the pan and brush with extra olive oil or butter for a soft finish. Serve warm and enjoy with dips, spreads, or as a sandwich wrap!
