Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cottage cheese, about 1 cup
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder, optional
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Blend cottage cheese in a food processor until completely smooth, about 30 seconds, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Add flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder (if using) to the processor and pulse until the dough forms a shaggy ball.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 1-2 minutes until smooth, adding flour if it becomes sticky.
- Shape the dough into a ball, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each piece into a thin oval or circle, approximately 6 inches across.
- Place the rolled flatbreads on the prepared baking sheet and lightly brush the tops with olive oil.
- Bake for 12-18 minutes, checking at 12 minutes, until they are golden brown and slightly puffed.
- Allow the flatbreads to cool slightly before serving, as they will crisp up during the cooling process.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dough.
Serve these flatbreads warm with your favorite dips or spreads.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
