Key Ingredients

  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese: ensure it's room temperature for best mixing

  • DIY self-rising flour option: mix all-purpose flour with leavening agents
  • Optional flavoring: dried herbs, granulated garlic, black pepper

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Dough Preparation
Use exact measurements for cottage cheese to prevent sticky dough. Combine with flour in a large mixing bowl. Stir gently until ingredients form a cohesive mass. Initial texture will be rough but smooths with minimal mixing.
Step 2: Forming Flatbreads
Place dough on floured work surface. Cut into four pieces using a sharp knife. Shape each portion into ¼-inch thick ovals. Embracing irregular shapes adds rustic charm.
Step 3: Stovetop Cooking
Heat pan over medium until water droplet sizzles. Cook flatbreads 2-3 minutes each side until golden spots appear. Watch for slight puffing, indicating proper cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Recipe

→ Is it possible to freeze these?
Yep, just put some wax paper between them and freeze for up to three months. Heat them up in a pan or microwave when you are ready.

What You’ll Need

→ Main Ingredients

01 1 cup self-rising flour
02 1 cup cottage cheese

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 01

Toss the cottage cheese and self-rising flour into a mixing bowl. Use a spatula or spoon to mix everything until a soft, sticky dough comes together. If it's still too sticky, sprinkle in a bit more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it's easy to handle.

Step 02

Sprinkle flour on a clean surface, then dump the dough onto it. Cut the dough into 4 even parts. Flatten each piece—either with your hands or a rolling pin—into an oval or circle about a fourth of an inch thick.

Step 03

Grab a non-stick pan or griddle and heat it on medium. Drop a flatbread in once it's hot and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side. You're looking for golden brown spots and fully cooked bread.

Step 04

Serve the flatbreads straight from the pan while they're warm. Eat them plain or pile on toppings like avocado, hummus, smoked salmon, or even honey drizzle.

Additional Notes

  1. Don’t have self-rising flour? Make your own by mixing 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt.
  2. Prefer a thinner or thicker flatbread? Adjust the dough’s thickness to fit your taste.
