Description

This Cottage Cheese Flatbread is a soft, flexible, and protein-packed alternative to traditional flatbreads. Made with simple ingredients like cottage cheese, eggs, and oat flour, it offers a nutritious, gluten-free option perfect for wraps, pizzas, or as a side for dips. Quick to prepare and bake, this flatbread is a healthy homemade bread alternative ideal for those seeking high-protein, low-carb, and wholesome meals.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup oat flour (or almond flour for a lower-carb option)
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional, for extra softness)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder or Italian seasoning (optional, for added flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Blend the Cottage Cheese: In a food processor or blender, blend the cottage cheese until smooth to ensure the dough has a uniform texture and better consistency.
  3. Mix the Dough: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, blended cottage cheese, and olive oil (if using). Add the oat flour, baking powder, salt, and optional seasonings like garlic powder or Italian seasoning. Stir until everything is well combined forming a soft but manageable dough. Add a little extra flour if the dough feels too sticky.
  4. Shape the Flatbread: Divide the dough into 2 or 3 equal portions depending on your preferred flatbread size. On a clean surface covered with parchment paper and lightly dusted with flour, roll each portion into a thin, oval shape. Transfer carefully to the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake the Flatbread: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the flatbread is cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
  6. Enjoy: Serve the flatbread warm as a wrap, pizza base, or as a dipper for hummus, soups, or your favorite toppings. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • For a crispier flatbread, bake a little longer or finish it in a dry skillet for one minute per side.
  • Make it dairy-free by substituting with a plant-based cottage cheese alternative.
  • Use almond flour instead of oat flour for a keto-friendly, lower-carb version.
