Scale
Flatbread Dough
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup oat flour (or almond flour for a lower-carb option)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional, for extra softness)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or Italian seasoning (optional, for added flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your 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 to create a uniform texture for the 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 any seasonings like garlic powder or Italian seasoning. Stir well until combined. The dough should be soft but not overly sticky; add a little extra flour if needed.
- Shape the Flatbread: Divide the dough into 2 to 3 portions depending on your desired size. On a clean surface, place a piece of parchment paper, dust with flour, and roll each portion into a thin, oval-shaped flatbread. Transfer them onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the Flatbread: Bake the flatbreads in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Enjoy: Serve the flatbreads warm as wraps, pizza bases, or dippers for hummus and soups. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for later use.
Notes
- For a lower-carb option, substitute oat flour with almond flour.
- Olive oil is optional but adds extra softness and flavor to the flatbread.
- Seasonings like garlic powder or Italian herbs can be customized or omitted based on taste preference.
- Store leftover flatbreads in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days for best freshness.
- These flatbreads can be reheated in a skillet or oven for a few minutes before serving.
