Ingredients

Scale

Flatbread Dough

  • 1 Cup Cottage cheese
  • 1 Cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 Tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt
  • 2 Tbsps Olive oil
  • 1 Egg

Instructions

  1. Start the Dough: Add cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, salt, and an egg to a mixing bowl.
  2. Bring It Together: Gently mix everything until it forms a soft, slightly sticky dough; it doesn’t have to be perfect, just workable.
  3. Let the Dough Relax: Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 5–10 minutes so it softens and becomes easier to handle.
  4. Divide Into Portions: Cut the dough into small, palm-sized pieces to ensure even cooking of each flatbread.
  5. Shape Each Piece: Flatten each portion into a rough circle; the shape can be rustic and freeform.
  6. Heat the Skillet: Warm a skillet over medium heat and brush or drizzle a little olive oil to prepare for toasting.
  7. Cook Each Flatbread: Place one piece at a time onto the skillet, cooking for 2–3 minutes per side until it browns, puffs slightly, and releases a toasty aroma.
  8. Stack and Soften: Once cooked, stack the flatbreads under a towel so the steam keeps them warm and pillowy.
  9. Ready to Serve: Serve warm with curries, soups, or as a quick snack with cheese or hummus for a satisfying treat.

Notes

  • Resting the dough helps improve texture and manageability.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned pan for best results.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly depending on stove heat to avoid burning.
  • Flatbreads can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
  • For gluten-free variation, try substituting all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
