Ingredients Breakdown
Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
Cottage cheese is the star of this recipe. Blending it until smooth is essential—it creates a creamy base that helps the dough come together and prevents lumps in the final flatbread. Low-fat cottage cheese works well, but full-fat can also be used for a richer texture.
All-Purpose Flour
Flour gives the flatbread structure and makes it rollable. You only need enough to form a soft dough.
Garlic Powder
Adds subtle savory flavor without overpowering the dough. You can adjust the amount based on your preference.
Oregano
Dried oregano gives the flatbread a Mediterranean feel and pairs well with wraps, pizza toppings, and dips.
How to Make Cottage Cheese Flatbread
- Blend the cottage cheese
Add the cottage cheese to a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth. This step is crucial for the final texture. - Make the dough
In a bowl, mix the blended cottage cheese with the flour, garlic powder, and oregano until a dough forms. It should be soft but not sticky. - Knead lightly
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 1–2 minutes until smooth. - Divide the dough
Divide the dough into 4–6 equal balls, depending on how large or thin you want your flatbreads. - Roll out
Roll each ball into a thin, round flatbread using a rolling pin or your hands. - Cook
Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden, bubbly, and lightly charred in spots. - Serve warm
Enjoy immediately or let cool before storing.
How to Store Cottage Cheese Flatbread
- Refrigerator: Store cooked flatbreads in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Freezer: Place cooled flatbreads between sheets of parchment paper and freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheating: Warm in a skillet over medium heat or microwave for 20–30 seconds.
Flatbreads can also be reheated in the oven at 350°F for a few minutes if you’re serving a larger batch.
Tips for Making the Best Flatbread
- Blend thoroughly – Any cottage cheese curds left behind will affect texture.
- Don’t over-knead – A short knead keeps the flatbread soft.
- Roll thin – Thinner flatbreads cook more evenly and stay flexible.
- Use a hot skillet – This helps create bubbles and golden spots.
- Experiment with flavors – Try adding Italian seasoning, chili flakes, or grated parmesan.
- Keep it dry – No oil is needed in the pan unless sticking occurs.
