Ingredients
1 cup Cottage Cheese (full-fat preferred)
1 cup Self-Rising Flour (or 1 cup all-purpose flour + 1 1/2 tsp baking powder + 1/2 tsp salt)
Instructions
- Combine the cottage cheese and self-rising flour in a medium bowl. Stir until a shaggy, sticky dough forms
- Turn the dough onto a well-floured surface. Gently knead 5-6 times until it comes together. Do not overwork
- Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 1/4-inch thick circle on a floured surface
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a little oil or butter
- Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly puffed. Repeat with remaining dough
Notes
For gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
Add garlic powder, dried herbs, or shredded cheddar for savory variations.
For a sweeter twist, add honey and cinnamon.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat in a dry skillet.
