Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Cottage Cheese – 1 cup (preferably full-fat)
- Self-Rising Flour – 1 cup
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Start by combining equal parts cottage cheese and self-rising flour in a bowl. Mix well using a spoon or your hands until it forms a soft, slightly sticky dough.
- Shape Your Flatbread: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and gently knead a few times. Roll or pat the dough into your desired flatbread shape and thickness—typically a few millimeters thick to ensure even cooking.
- Cook the Flatbread: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the shaped dough in the pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Remove from heat and enjoy immediately with your choice of toppings or sides, or let cool and store for later use.
Notes
- Use full-fat cottage cheese to keep the dough tender and flavorful versus low-fat versions.
- Don’t over-flour; adding too much can make the flatbread dense, so use just enough to prevent sticking.
- Preheat your pan to ensure golden spots and even cooking.
- Customize thickness: thinner flatbreads are crispier, thicker ones stay soft and chewy.
- Let the dough rest for 5 minutes before cooking to hydrate the flour fully for better texture.
