Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (like parsley or chives), finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 0.5 cup water (adjust as needed for dough consistency)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, salt, and olive oil.
  2. Mix until a soft dough begins to form. If the dough is too crumbly, add water gradually until you achieve a workable consistency.
  3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Divide the dough into 4-6 equal portions, rolling each into a ball.
  5. Flatten each ball with your hands or a rolling pin into a round shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. If using, sprinkle sesame seeds or garlic powder on top and gently press them into the surface of the flatbread.
  7. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook each piece of flatbread for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Keep the cooked flatbreads warm under a clean kitchen towel while you finish the others.
