Ingredients
- All-purpose flour: 2 cups (plus extra for dusting)
- Baking powder: 1 tsp
- Salt: 1/2 tsp
- Cottage cheese: 1 cup (smooth or slightly blended for a creamy consistency)
- Olive oil: 2 tbsp
- Warm water: 2–4 tbsp (as needed)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Dough:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cottage cheese and olive oil, mixing until the dough starts to come together.
- Gradually add warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough is soft but not sticky.
-
Knead the Dough:
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth.
- Cover the dough with a clean towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.
-
Divide and Roll:
- Divide the dough into 6–8 equal portions and roll each piece into a ball.
- Use a rolling pin to flatten each ball into a thin circle or oval, about 1/4 inch thick.
-
Cook the Flatbread:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Cook each flatbread for 2–3 minutes on one side until bubbles form and golden spots appear. Flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes.
-
Serve:
- Remove from the skillet and brush with a little olive oil or melted butter, if desired. Serve warm with your favorite toppings or sides.
