Core Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 1 cup self-rising flour
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Measure out half a cup of cottage cheese and one cup of self-rising flour. If your cottage cheese is very wet, drain it slightly or press it with a paper towel to avoid a too-thin dough.
- Mix the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and self-rising flour. Use a spoon or your hands to mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the flatbread tender.
- Shape the Flatbreads: Divide the dough into 3-4 equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a thin circle or oval about 1/4 inch thick. You can also pat the dough into shape if you prefer a rustic look.
- Cook the Flatbread: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place one flatbread in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until brown spots appear on the bottom. Flip and cook the other side for another 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining flatbreads.
- Serve Warm: Enjoy the flatbreads warm as they are or with your favorite toppings. They are best fresh but also reheat well.
Notes
- Drain the cottage cheese to remove excess liquid and prevent soggy dough.
- Use self-rising flour to achieve the right rise and softness without additional leavening agents.
- Do not overwork the dough to keep the flatbread fluffy and tender.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the flatbread before it cooks through.
- Store flatbreads wrapped to retain moisture and softness if preparing ahead.
