Ingredients
Scale
Flatbread Dough
- 1 Cup Cottage cheese
- 1 Cup All-purpose flour
- 1 Tsp Baking powder
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
- 1 Egg
- 2 Tbsps Olive oil (plus extra for cooking)
Instructions
- Start the Dough: Add the cottage cheese, all-purpose flour, egg, and salt into a mixing bowl to begin creating the dough.
- Bring It Together Gently: Mix all ingredients until they form a soft, slightly sticky dough that is workable, not perfect.
- Let the Dough Relax: Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 5–10 minutes. This step helps the dough soften and become easier to handle for shaping.
- Divide Into Portions: Cut the rested dough into small, palm-sized pieces to ensure even cooking for each flatbread.
- Shape Each Piece: Flatten each portion into a rough circle shape. It doesn’t need to be perfect; whatever shape feels right works well.
- Heat the Skillet: Warm a skillet over medium heat and brush or drizzle with a little olive oil to prevent sticking and help the flatbreads toast properly.
- Cook Each Flatbread: Place one piece of dough onto the skillet at a time. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until the flatbread browns, puffs slightly, and smells toasty.
- Stack and Soften: Once cooked, stack the flatbreads under a towel so that steam keeps them warm and soft until serving.
- Ready to Serve: Serve these warm, soft flatbreads with curries, soups, or as a quick snack with cheese or hummus.
Notes
- For extra flavor, brush the flatbreads with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt or za’atar immediately after cooking.
