Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (can substitute half with whole wheat flour)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat, just ensure it’s not too watery)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Water, as needed
Instructions
- Measure and Mix
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and olive oil.
- Check Consistency: If the dough is too crumbly, add a small splash of water until it holds together.
- 2. Knead and Rest
- Knead: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 2–3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Shape into a Ball: If sticky, dust with a little more flour.
- Cover and Rest: Let the dough sit for 10 minutes under a clean towel.
- 3. Shape and Flatten
- Divide the Dough: Cut into 4–6 equal pieces.
- Roll It Out: Roll each piece into a circle or oval, about 1/4 inch thick.
- 4. Cook or Bake
- Stovetop Method:
- Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Cook on One Side for 2–3 minutes, until bubbles form.
- Flip and Cook the Other Side for another 2–3 minutes.
- Repeat with remaining dough.
- Oven Method:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange flatbreads on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway.
- 5. Enjoy and Customize
- Classic Toppings: Tomato sauce, mozzarella, fresh basil, pepperoni.
- Healthy Options: Avocado, arugula, grilled chicken, balsamic drizzle.
- Sweet Twist: Honey or Nutella with fresh berries.
Notes
- If the dough feels too sticky, kneading will help—it absorbs moisture as it rests.
- Brushing the cooked flatbread with garlic butter enhances flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in a dry pan for freshness.
