Total Time: 25 minutes
Yield: 2–3 flatbreads
Serving Size: 1 flatbread
Calories per Serving: 180
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup oat flour (or almond flour for a low-carb/keto version)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional, for extra softness)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or Italian seasoning (optional, for added flavor)
Instructions
1. Preheat and Prepare
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease with oil or cooking spray.
2. Blend Cottage Cheese
In a blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese until smooth to ensure a consistent texture in the dough.
3. Mix the Dough
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, blended cottage cheese, and olive oil.
Add oat flour, baking powder, salt, and optional seasonings. Stir until fully combined.
The dough should be soft but not too sticky. If needed, add a bit more flour.
4. Shape the Flatbreads
Divide the dough into 2–3 portions, depending on desired size.
On a floured piece of parchment paper, roll each portion into a thin, oval or round shape.
Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
For extra crispiness, broil for 1–2 minutes or finish in a dry skillet for 1 minute per side.
6. Cool and Serve
Let flatbreads cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature as a wrap, flatbread pizza base, or dipper.
Storage Tips
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, warm in a skillet or oven to restore softness and flexibility.
Recipe Notes
- Dairy-free option: Use a plant-based cottage cheese alternative.
- Low-carb version: Use almond flour instead of oat flour.
- Flavor boost: Add fresh herbs or spices to match your dish (e.g., cumin for curries, za’atar for Middle Eastern spreads).
