Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus more for cooking)
- 1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped (optional)
- 1/2 cup fresh vegetables (like lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, or any preferred fillings)
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels sticky, sprinkle in more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until manageable. - Knead and Rest
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently for about 1 minute, just until smooth. Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 15 minutes. - Divide and Roll
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion out into a thin flatbread shape, about 1/8 inch thick, on a lightly floured surface. - Cook the Flatbread
Heat a skillet over medium heat and drizzle with a small amount of olive oil. Place one rolled-out flatbread onto the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining flatbreads. - Assemble and Serve
Once the flatbreads are cooked, let them cool slightly. Add your desired fillings, such as fresh vegetables, shredded cheese, or even a dollop of hummus. Fold the flatbread over the fillings and serve warm.
Notes
- Add Extra Flavor: Mix chopped herbs, garlic powder, or chili flakes into the dough for a flavorful twist.
- Storage: Store cooked flatbreads in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet before serving.
- Freeze for Later: Cooked flatbreads can be frozen. Place parchment paper between each flatbread and store in a freezer-safe bag. Reheat directly from frozen.
- Substitutions: Whole wheat flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour can be used instead of regular all-purpose flour.
