Ingredients (makes 4 flatbreads)

• 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• Optional: ½ tsp garlic powder or dried herbs
• Olive oil, for cooking

Essential Tools and Equipment

• Blender or food processor
• Mixing bowl
• Rolling pin
• Nonstick skillet

• Spatula

Step-by-step process (detailed)

1. Blend the cottage cheese

Add cottage cheese to a blender or food processor. Blend 20–30 seconds until completely smooth with no visible curds. This ensures a soft, uniform dough.

2. Mix the dry ingredients

In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and any optional seasonings until evenly combined.

3. Form the dough

Add the blended cottage cheese to the dry ingredients. Stir until a shaggy dough forms, then knead gently 1–2 minutes until smooth and slightly tacky. Add a small sprinkle of flour if sticky.

4. Rest the dough

Cover and let the dough rest 10 minutes. Resting relaxes the gluten and makes rolling easier.

5. Divide and roll

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each piece into a thin round or oval, about ⅛ inch thick.

6. Heat the skillet

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly brush with olive oil. The pan should be hot but not smoking.

7. Cook the flatbreads

Place one flatbread in the skillet. Cook 1½–2 minutes per side until bubbles form and light golden spots appear. Flip and repeat.

8. Keep warm

Transfer cooked flatbreads to a plate and cover with a clean towel to keep warm while cooking the rest.

9. Serve

Serve warm as wraps, with dips, or as a base for quick flatbread pizzas.
