2 Ingredient Cottage Cheese Flatbread (Quick & High-Protein Recipe)
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat both work)
- ½ cups all-purpose flour
- (or substitute with whole wheat, oat, or gluten-free flour)
Optional Add-ins:
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp fresh herbs (like parsley or dill)
- Pinch of salt
Pro Tip: For a smoother dough, blend your cottage cheese first. It helps remove lumps and makes rolling easier.
Instructions
- Mix the IngredientsIn a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese and flour. Use a spatula or your hands to mix until a dough forms.If it feels sticky, sprinkle in a bit more flour until it’s manageable.
- Knead the DoughTransfer the dough to a floured surface and knead gently for 1–2 minutes until smooth and elastic. Don’t overwork it — just enough to hold together.
- Roll Out the FlatbreadsDivide into 6–8 small balls. Roll each one out into a thin, round flatbread — about ¼ inch thick. Imperfections are fine; that’s homemade charm.
- Cook on a Hot SkilletHeat a nonstick pan or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.Cook each flatbread for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown spots appear.You’ll know it’s perfect when it puffs slightly and releases easily from the pan.
- Serve & EnjoyServe warm, topped with butter, hummus, avocado, or fresh veggies.They’re also amazing as wraps for grilled chicken or breakfast eggs.
