Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
- Water, as needed (to form dough)
Instructions
- Mix ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, salt, and egg. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- Adjust dough consistency: If the dough feels too dry, add water gradually, a tablespoon at a time, until you achieve a soft but manageable dough that is slightly sticky.
- Knead the dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and transfer the dough onto it. Knead gently for 1-2 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and uniform.
- Divide the dough: Split the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball shape for even flatbreads.
- Roll out flatbreads: Using a rolling pin, flatten each dough ball into a round flatbread approximately ½ inch thick.
- Preheat pan: Heat a frying pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to warm evenly.
- Cook first side: Place one flatbread in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes or until bubbles begin to form and the bottom turns golden brown.
- Flip and cook other side: Use a spatula to flip the flatbread and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the other side is also golden brown.
- Repeat cooking: Remove the cooked flatbread and keep warm. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining dough balls.
- Serve: Serve the flatbreads warm, plain or topped with ingredients of your choice such as herbs, cheese, or spreads.
Notes
- If the dough is very sticky, dust it lightly with flour to prevent sticking during kneading and rolling.
- These flatbreads can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
- Olive oil can be substituted with a neutral oil like vegetable or sunflower oil if preferred.
- For additional flavor, consider adding herbs like rosemary or garlic powder into the dough.
- This recipe yields 4 medium-sized flatbreads suitable for individual servings.
