Ingredients
  

Flatbread Ingredients
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (preferably low-fat) Can use low-fat or regular cottage cheese.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour for a healthier option) Whole wheat flour can add extra nutrition.
  • 1 large egg For a vegan version, substitute with a flaxseed meal mixture.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Optional spices: garlic powder, onion powder, or herbs like oregano Add for flavor enhancement.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Combine the cottage cheese, flour, egg, salt, and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Blend until a smooth dough forms.
  2. If the dough is too sticky, add a little extra flour to achieve the right consistency.
Cooking
  1. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
  2. Take a handful of dough and flatten it into a round shape, about a quarter-inch thick.
  3. Place the flattened dough on the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
  4. Ensure the flatbread is soft yet slightly crisp when done.

Notes

These flatbreads can be served with dips like giardiniera, or topped with cream cheese and smoked salmon. For variations, add herbs and spices, or make a sweet version with cinnamon and vanilla.
