Why You’ll Love This Cottage Cheese Flatbread

This flatbread is more than just easy. It’s nutritious, protein-rich, and incredibly versatile. You can make a batch ahead of time and use it for lunches throughout the week. Unlike traditional bread, it keeps things light while still being filling. It also skips the kneading and rising time you’d expect with yeasted dough, which means less hassle and more instant gratification.

Can I Use Any Cottage Cheese?

You can use full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese depending on your preference, but avoid fat-free versions as they tend to be too watery and lack creaminess. If your cottage cheese is very chunky, give it a quick blend or mash to smooth it out. This ensures a uniform dough and helps the flatbread cook evenly without breaking.

Ingredients for the Cottage Cheese Flatbread

This recipe relies on simplicity, and every ingredient plays an important role in making the flatbread soft, flavorful, and easy to work with.

• Cottage Cheese
• Egg
• Oat Flour
• Baking Powder
• Salt
• Garlic Powder (optional)

Cottage cheese is the heart of this recipe. It adds moisture, creaminess, and protein. The egg binds everything together and adds a bit of fluff. Oat flour keeps it gluten-free and gives it a nutty, wholesome flavor. Baking powder helps the flatbread puff slightly, while salt enhances flavor. Garlic powder is optional but adds a lovely aromatic layer if you’re using the flatbread in savory applications.

How To Make the Cottage Cheese Flatbread

Step 1: Blend the Wet Ingredients

Add your cottage cheese and egg to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. If your cottage cheese is already smooth, you can whisk by hand.

Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder if using.

Step 3: Mix It All Together

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick batter forms. It should resemble pancake batter but slightly thicker.

Step 4: Cook the Flatbread

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly oil it if needed. Pour a portion of the batter into the pan and spread it into a circle, about 1/4 inch thick. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 5: Cool and Store

Let the flatbreads cool slightly before using or storing. They’re great warm or chilled and reheat nicely in a toaster or dry skillet.

How to Serve and Store Cottage Cheese Flatbread

This recipe yields about 4 medium flatbreads and serves 2 to 3 people depending on how you use them. If you’re using them for wraps, sandwiches, or mini pizzas, one per person is usually satisfying.

Store the cooled flatbreads in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze them between parchment layers and reheat as needed. They retain their softness and hold together well, even after freezing.
