Ingredients

Scale

Flatbread Dough

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready when the dough is prepared.
  2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Blend Cottage Cheese: Using a food processor or blender, blend the cottage cheese until smooth to achieve a uniform texture in the dough.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the blended cottage cheese, eggs, and olive oil (if using) until fully combined.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in oat flour, baking powder, salt, and optional seasonings like garlic powder or Italian seasoning. Mix until the dough is soft but not sticky, adding more flour if necessary.
  6. Divide Dough: Divide the dough into 2 to 3 portions depending on your preferred flatbread size.
  7. Shape Flatbreads: Place a piece of parchment paper on a clean surface, sprinkle with flour, and roll each portion into a thin, oval-shaped flatbread.
  8. Transfer to Baking Sheet: Carefully transfer the rolled flatbreads onto the prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes until the edges turn golden brown and the flatbreads are cooked through.
  10. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the flatbreads cool for a few minutes to set before serving.
  11. Serve: Enjoy warm as a wrap, pizza base, or a dipper for hummus or soups.
  12. Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness for later use.

Notes

  • Use almond flour instead of oat flour for a lower-carb option.
  • Olive oil is optional but helps make the flatbread softer and more pliable.
  • Seasonings like garlic powder or Italian seasoning add extra flavor but can be omitted for a more neutral bread.
  • Ensure the dough is not too sticky to make rolling easier; add flour gradually if needed.
  • Store flatbreads in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
