Ingredients Overview

• Cottage cheese: Full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese both work well. Blend until smooth for a more even dough if desired.
• All-purpose flour: Creates a soft, tender flatbread. A 1:1 gluten-free flour blend or 1:1 keto baking flour can also be substituted.
• Baking powder: Needed when using all-purpose flour to help the flatbread puff slightly.
• Salt: Fine salt or kosher salt both work well.

How to Cook Cottage Cheese Flatbread with Flour

Step 1: Combine the cottage cheese, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir until a soft dough forms, then knead gently on a lightly floured surface for about one minute until smooth.

Step 2: Divide the dough into four or five equal portions. Roll each piece into a thin round, keeping the thickness as even as possible for uniform cooking.

Step 3: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown spots appear and the center is fully cooked.

FAQs

Can I make cottage cheese flatbread without eggs?

Yes. This recipe is completely no egg and still produces soft, flexible flatbreads.

Can I use self-rising flour instead of all-purpose flour?

Yes. If using self-rising flour, simply omit the baking powder since it already contains a leavening agent.

Can I make cottage cheese flatbread gluten-free?

Yes. A 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well in this recipe. You can also use a 1:1 keto baking flour for a lower-carb option.

Why is my flatbread dough sticky?

The moisture level of cottage cheese varies by brand. Add a little extra flour, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough is easy to handle.

How do I keep homemade flatbreads soft?

Stack the cooked flatbreads and cover them with a clean kitchen towel while they cool. This traps steam and helps keep them pliable.
