¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
Optional additions:
garlic powder
dried herbs
black pepper
How to Make Cottage Cheese Flatbread
Start by adding the cottage cheese to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. This step helps create a softer dough.
In a bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the blended cottage cheese and mix everything together until a soft dough forms.
If the dough feels slightly sticky, add 1–2 tablespoons of flour until it becomes easier to handle.
Divide the dough into 2–3 portions and roll each portion into a thin round flatbread on a lightly floured surface.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and cook each flatbread for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden spots appear and the bread is cooked through.
Let them cool slightly before using.
