  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 flatbreads

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg (optional, for extra protein and binding)
  • Herbs and spices (such as garlic powder, rosemary, or oregano) — optional for added flavor

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and herbs/spices if using.
  2. Combine cottage cheese and egg: In a separate bowl, mix the cottage cheese and egg until smooth and well combined.
  3. Form the dough: Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until a sticky dough forms. Adjust consistency with more flour or water as needed.
  4. Divide and roll: Portion the dough into 4 equal parts. Lightly flour your surface and roll each into a thin circle or oval shape.
  5. Cook the flatbreads: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes per side until golden. Optionally, finish in an air fryer for extra crispiness.
