Description
This high-protein cottage cheese flatbread is a delicious and satisfying option for lunch or a light dinner, packed with protein and easy to customize with your favorite toppings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese (preferably low-fat or full-fat)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or substitute with whole wheat or gluten-free flour)
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Optional toppings: Fresh herbs, shredded cheese, or spices (like garlic powder or Italian seasoning)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of cottage cheese and 1 large egg. Whisk until well blended.
- To the cottage cheese mixture, add 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir until the mixture forms a dough.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the dough and mix until fully incorporated. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and let it warm up for a few minutes.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a disc about 1/4 inch thick.
- Place one flattened disc into the hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side. Repeat with the remaining discs.
- Once cooked, remove the flatbreads from the skillet and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with your favorite toppings!
Notes
If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour on your work surface while shaping it. You can also bake these flatbreads in the oven at 400°F (204°C) for about 10-12 minutes.
