Flatbread Ingredients
- 1 Cup Cottage cheese
- 1 Cup All-purpose flour
- 1 Tsp Baking powder
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
- 2 Tbsps Olive oil
- 1 Egg
Instructions
- Start the Dough: Add cottage cheese, flour, an egg, and a little salt to a mixing bowl.
- Bring It Together Gently: Mix everything until it forms a soft, slightly sticky dough that is workable, even if not perfect.
- Let the Dough Relax: Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 5–10 minutes to soften and make it easier to handle.
- Divide Into Portions: Cut the dough into small, palm-sized pieces to ensure even cooking for each flatbread.
- Shape Each Piece: Flatten each portion into a rough circle. The shape doesn’t need to be perfect—just a natural form.
- Heat the Skillet: Warm a skillet over medium heat and brush or drizzle a little olive oil to prepare for toasting the flatbreads.
- Cook Each Flatbread: Place one piece at a time onto the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until the flatbread browns, puffs slightly, and emits a toasty aroma.
- Stack and Soften: Once cooked, stack the flatbreads under a towel so the steam keeps them warm and soft.
- Ready to Serve: Serve warm with your favorite curries, soups, or as a quick snack with cheese or hummus.
Notes
- For extra flavor, brush flatbreads with olive oil and sprinkle sea salt or za’atar immediately after removing from heat.
- Using a non-stick skillet helps prevent sticking and promotes even browning.
- You can substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier twist, adjusting dough hydration if necessary.
