Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup oat flour (or almond flour for a lower-carb option)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional, for extra softness)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder or Italian seasoning (optional, for added flavor)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with oil or cooking spray.
Step 2: Blend the Cottage Cheese
- In a food processor or blender, blend the cottage cheese until smooth. This helps create a uniform texture in the dough.
Step 3: Mix the Dough
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, blended cottage cheese, and olive oil.
- Add in the oat flour, baking powder, salt, and seasonings. Stir until well combined. The dough should be soft but not too sticky—if needed, add a little more flour.
Step 4: Shape the Flatbread
- Divide the dough into 2-3 portions (depending on the size you want).
- Place a piece of parchment paper on a clean surface, sprinkle with a little flour, and roll each portion into a thin, oval shape.
- Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5: Bake the Flatbread
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 6: Enjoy!
- Serve warm as a wrap, pizza base, or dipper for hummus or soups.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for later use.
Notes
- For a crispier flatbread, bake a little longer or finish it in a dry skillet for a minute per side.
- Make it dairy-free by using a plant-based cottage cheese alternative.
- Use almond flour for a keto-friendly version.
