Ingredients
Flatbread Ingredients
- 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
- Preheat and Prepare. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Blend the Cottage Cheese. In a food processor or blender, blend the cottage cheese until smooth. This step is essential to achieve a uniform and creamy texture in the flatbread dough.
- Mix the Dough. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, blended cottage cheese, and olive oil. Add oat flour, baking powder, salt, and optional seasonings. Stir well until fully combined. The dough should be soft but pliable; if it feels too sticky, gradually add more flour to adjust the consistency.
- Shape the Flatbread. Divide the dough into 2-3 equal portions depending on desired flatbread size. Place a piece of parchment paper on a clean surface and lightly dust with flour. Roll each portion into a thin, oval shape using a rolling pin or your hands. Carefully transfer each flatbread onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the Flatbread. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges become golden brown and the flatbread is cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before handling.
- Enjoy! Serve the warm flatbread as a wrap, pizza base, or as dippers for hummus, soups, or salads. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
- To keep this recipe lower in carbs, substitute oat flour with almond flour.
- Customize the flavor by adding herbs or spices such as garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or dried oregano.
- Olive oil is optional but recommended for a softer texture and richer taste.
- Ensure the dough is not too sticky before shaping; extra flour can help with handling.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days for best freshness.
- These flatbreads can also be reheated briefly in a toaster or oven to regain their softness.
