Introduction
Fluffy Cottage Cheese Flatbread is a simple, high-protein bread alternative that’s surprisingly easy to make. Blended cottage cheese mixes with self-rising flour (or an all-purpose flour plus baking powder substitute) to form a soft dough you roll and cook into golden flatbread. Whether you’re using it as a wrap, dip bread, snack or snackable lunch, it’s adaptable and satisfying.
Prep Time: ~5 minutes
Cook Time: ~15 minutes
Total Time: ~20 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese, blended until smooth
- 1 cup self-rising flour (or substitute: 1 cup all-purpose flour + ½ tsp baking powder + a pinch of salt)
- Optional: pinch of salt for flavour
- Oil for pan-frying (about 1-2 tbsp)
Step-by-Step Instructions
➜ Blend the cottage cheese until smooth.
➜ In a bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese with the self-rising flour (or substitute flour mix) and optional salt. Stir until a crumbly dough forms.
➜ Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until uniform and smooth. Divide into four equal portions. Roll each into a ball, then flatten each ball into a round or preferred shape using a rolling pin on a floured surface.
➜ Heat a skillet over medium heat and add about 1-2 tablespoons oil. Once hot, place one flatbread in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until golden on the bottom, then flip and cook another 2-3 minutes until the other side is golden and bread has puffed slightly. Repeat with remaining dough portions.
➜ Serve warm. Use as wraps, cut into wedges for dips like hummus or tzatziki, or fill with your favourite toppings.
