Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus extra for cooking)
Optional Additions
- Fresh herbs (like chives or parsley)
- Garlic powder
- Spices for added flavor
Instructions
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of cottage cheese and 1 large egg. Use a fork or a whisk to mix them together until well blended.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Add any optional herbs or spices to this dry mixture at this stage.
- Form Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the cottage cheese and egg mixture. Stir until a dough forms. If the mixture is too sticky, incorporate a little more flour until smooth.
- Knead the Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Shape Flatbreads: Divide the dough into small equal portions about the size of a golf ball. Flatten each ball with your hands or rolling pin into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
- Heat Skillet & Add Oil: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small drizzle of olive oil to coat the bottom.
- Cook Flatbreads: Place one flatbread in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown on one side. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
- Repeat Cooking: Continue cooking remaining flatbreads similarly, adding more olive oil as needed to prevent sticking.
- Serve Warm: Once all flatbreads are cooked, serve warm with dips or toppings like hummus, yogurt, or fresh vegetables.
Notes
- You can add fresh herbs or spices such as parsley, chives, or garlic powder for extra flavor.
- If the dough is too sticky, add flour gradually to reach the right consistency for kneading.
- Adjust cooking time slightly depending on your stove and skillet to avoid burning.
- These flatbreads are best served fresh and warm but can be stored in an airtight container and reheated on a skillet.
- Use a non-stick skillet or lightly oil the pan to prevent sticking.
