Cottage Cheese Flatbread (High-Protein & Soft)
A tender, flexible flatbread powered by cottage cheese for extra protein. Perfect for wraps, dips, breakfast sandwiches, or meal prep.
Ingredients (6 flatbreads)
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
Instructions
- Blend smooth: Blend the cottage cheese until creamy.
- Make the dough: In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the blended cottage cheese to form a soft dough.
- Knead briefly: Turn onto a floured surface and knead 1–2 minutes until smooth (add a sprinkle of flour if sticky).
- Divide & roll: Split into 6 balls. Roll each into a thin round (about 15–18 cm).
- Cook: Heat a skillet over medium. Lightly oil. Cook each flatbread 1–2 minutes per side until golden spots appear.
- Keep soft: Stack and cover with a towel to trap steam.
Tips
- If the dough feels wet, dust with flour a teaspoon at a time.
- For extra softness, brush with a little olive oil right after cooking.
- Stores 3 days in the fridge; reheat in a dry pan 20–30 seconds per side.
Flavor Ideas
- Garlic & herbs: add ½ tsp garlic powder + 1 tsp dried herbs to the flour.
- Cheesy: knead in 2 tbsp grated mozzarella or cheddar.
- Whole-wheat: swap half the flour for whole-wheat flour (add 1–2 tsp water if needed).
Ways to Use
- Wraps with grilled chicken & salad
