Ingredients
Scale
1 Cup Cottage cheese
1 Cup All-purpose flour
1 Large Egg
1 Tsp Baking powder
1/2 Tsp Salt
2 Tbsps Olive oil
Instructions
Start the Dough: Add cottage cheese, flour, an egg, baking powder, and a little salt to a mixing bowl.
Bring It Together Gently: Mix everything until it forms a soft, slightly sticky dough that is workable.
Let the Dough Relax: Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 5–10 minutes so it softens and becomes easier to handle.
Divide Into Portions: Cut the dough into small, palm-sized pieces so each flatbread cooks evenly.
Shape Each Piece: Flatten each portion into a rough circle.
Heat the Skillet: Warm a skillet over medium heat and brush or drizzle a little oil to prepare for toasting.
Cook Each Flatbread: Lay one piece at a time onto the skillet, cooking for 2–3 minutes per side until it browns, puffs slightly, and smells toasty.
Stack and Soften: When they’re done, stack the flatbreads under a towel so the steam keeps them warm and pillowy.
Ready to Serve: Serve with curries, soups, or as a quick snack with cheese or hummus.
Notes
If you want extra flavor, brush the flatbreads with olive oil and sprinkle sea salt or za’atar right after they come off the heat.
