Description
Tender and customizable flatbreads made quick with cottage cheese, perfect for weeknight dinners or brunch.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat preferred)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (substitute 1:1 gluten-free flour blend if needed)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil (plus extra for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Position a rack in the center and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, divide into 4–6 portions, and press or roll each portion into a flat round about 1/8–1/4 inch thick.
- Place rounds on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with olive oil to promote browning.
- Add desired toppings such as salt, pepper, za’atar, herbs, and cheese.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes or until edges are golden. Cool on a rack for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For a nuttier flavor, swap up to 1/4 cup of the flour with whole-wheat pastry flour. To keep the dough tender, avoid overworking it.
