Prep time: 5 minutes

Mixing & shaping: 5 minutes

Cooking time: 8–10 minutes

Total time: ~18–20 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)

1 cup all-purpose flour

Optional (Not Required)

¼ tsp salt (for extra flavor)

½ tsp garlic powder or herbs

Extra flour for dusting

Instructions

Prepare the Dough

Add cottage cheese to a bowl.

For extra-smooth flatbread, lightly mash or blend the cottage cheese (optional).

Add flour and mix with a spoon until a soft dough forms.

If sticky, sprinkle in 1–2 tablespoons flour until manageable.

Shape the Flatbreads

Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface.

Divide into 4 equal pieces.

Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into a circle about ¼ cm (⅛ inch) thick.

Cook the Flatbread (Stovetop Method)

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Place one flatbread into the pan (no oil needed).

Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden spots appear and bread puffs slightly.

Alternative Cooking Methods

Oven Method

Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway.

Air Fryer Method

Air fry at 190°C (375°F) for 6–8 minutes, flipping once.

Tips for Best Results

Use small-curd cottage cheese for easier mixing.

Don’t overcook—flatbreads stay softer when lightly browned.

Cover cooked flatbreads with a cloth to keep warm and pliable.

If dough feels dry, add 1 tablespoon cottage cheese.

Flavor Variations

Herbed: Mix in oregano, basil, or parsley

Cheesy: Add 2 tbsp grated Parmesan

Spicy: Add chili flakes or paprika

Whole-Wheat: Replace half the flour with whole wheat flour
