Units Scale

Flatbread Ingredients

  • 2 cups (455g) 4% small curd cottage cheese
  • 2.5 cups (352g) self-rising flour, plus more for dusting

Instructions

  1. Blend Cottage Cheese: Add the cottage cheese to a blender and blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed to achieve a creamy texture.
  2. Make Dough: Transfer the blended cottage cheese to a bowl and add 2 cups of self-rising flour. Mix until a sticky but workable dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, gradually add more flour until workable.
  3. Knead Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead it gently until it feels even and forms a cohesive ball. Use extra flour as needed to prevent sticking.
  4. Divide and Roll: Cut the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece on a floured surface into circles about 5–6 inches wide and between 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.
  5. Cook Flatbread: Lightly grease a cast-iron skillet and heat it over medium heat. Place one rolled dough circle in the skillet. Cook for 2–4 minutes until golden brown spots appear and the dough begins to puff and bubble. Flip and cook the other side for another 2–4 minutes until browned and blistered.
  6. Repeat and Serve: Repeat the cooking process with remaining dough pieces, adjusting heat as necessary to prevent burning. Let the flatbreads cool slightly before serving. Optionally brush with melted garlic butter or sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve warm for best flavor.

Notes

  • Use 4% fat cottage cheese with small curds for best texture.
  • If dough is too sticky to handle, add more self-rising flour gradually.
  • Cook the flatbread on medium heat to allow thorough cooking without burning.
  • Flatbreads can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
  • For extra flavor, brush finished flatbreads with melted garlic butter and sprinkle fresh herbs like parsley.
