A quick and easy homemade flatbread recipe packed with protein from cottage cheese, perfect for snacks or light meals. This flatbread is creamy, fluffy, and versatile with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (8 oz / 240g) low-fat small-curd cottage cheese
  • 1 cup (4.25 oz / 120g) all-purpose flour (can substitute almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Optional toppings:
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
  • Fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme
  • Thinly sliced cherry tomatoes or olives
  • Cracked black pepper or chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and eggs. Use a whisk or fork to break down the curds until mostly smooth.
  3. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir gently until a sticky dough forms. If too wet, sprinkle a little more flour.
  4. Drizzle in the olive oil and mix it through.
  5. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and lightly knead 2-3 times to bring it together. Avoid over-kneading.
  6. Roll out the dough into a roughly 10-inch (25 cm) circle or rectangle about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick. Dust with flour if it sticks.
  7. Transfer the rolled dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Add optional toppings evenly if desired.
  8. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown with slightly crisp edges and cooked through.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes to set.
  10. Slice into wedges or squares and serve warm.

Notes

Do not over-knead the dough to keep it tender. Use room temperature eggs and cottage cheese for smooth mixing. For crispier edges, bake on a preheated pizza stone. If edges brown too quickly, tent with foil halfway through baking. Dough can be refrigerated up to 24 hours before baking. Store leftovers refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen up to 2 months. Reheat in oven or toaster oven for best texture.
