Ingredients
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter
¼ teaspoon garlic powder or Italian herbs
¼ cup shredded mozzarella or parmesan (for topping)
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine self-rising flour and cottage cheese. Mix until a rough dough forms.
2. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Knead lightly for 1–2 minutes until smooth.
3. Divide the dough into 2 to 4 pieces. Roll into balls and flatten into ¼-inch-thick rounds.
4. Heat a nonstick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat.
5. Cook each flatbread for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown with charred spots.
6. If desired, brush with olive oil or butter and add toppings like herbs or cheese.
7. Serve warm, or let cool slightly for later use.
Notes
For a smoother texture, blend the cottage cheese before mixing if using large curd.
If the dough feels sticky, add a small amount of flour until manageable.
Baking is a great alternative: cook at 425°F for 10–12 minutes for a puffier flatbread.
