Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 2 ¼ – 2 ¾ cups self-rising flour, depending on moisture level
Instructions
- Blend cottage cheese: Add the cottage cheese to a food processor or high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Transfer the smooth mixture to a medium mixing bowl.
- Form dough: Add 2 ¼ cups of self-rising flour to the cottage cheese and stir until a ball of dough forms. If the dough is too sticky to knead, gradually add more flour, 2 tablespoons at a time, stirring after each addition until the dough is firm enough to knead.
- Knead dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it until smooth and easy to handle.
- Shape flatbreads: Divide the dough into 8 equal portions, roll each into a ball, then flatten each ball into a disc about ⅛ inch thick. Set aside.
- Cook flatbreads: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it if a more golden crust is desired. Once hot, add a dough disc and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until cooked through and golden on both sides. Transfer cooked flatbread to a plate to cool. Repeat with remaining dough discs.
- Serve or store: Serve the flatbreads warm or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Notes
- If the dough is sticky, add flour gradually to avoid a dry flatbread.
- Light greasing the skillet adds a golden color and slight crispness, but can be omitted for a lighter flatbread.
- Flatbreads store well and can be reheated gently in a skillet or microwave.
- Use full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese based on preference, but moisture levels can affect dough consistency.
