# Ingredients List:
→ Flatbread Dough
01 -
240 g cottage cheese
02 -
125 g all-purpose flour
03 -
5 g baking powder
04 -
2.5 g fine salt
05 -
30 ml extra-virgin olive oil, divided
06 -
1 large egg
# How to Make It:
01 -
Place cottage cheese, all-purpose flour, egg, baking powder, and salt into a mixing bowl.
02 -
Mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are incorporated but not overmixed.
03 -
Cover the bowl and let the dough rest at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes to allow gluten to relax.
04 -
Divide the dough into four equal, palm-sized pieces for consistent cooking.
05 -
Flatten each piece into a rough circle using lightly floured hands or a rolling pin; exact shape is not critical.
06 -
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Lightly brush with a portion of olive oil.
07 -
Place a shaped dough round into the skillet. Cook 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden, slightly puffed, and aromatic. Repeat with remaining dough, oiling the skillet as necessary.
08 -
Stack the cooked flatbreads under a towel to preserve warmth and moisture while preparing remaining portions.
09 -
Serve warm as an accompaniment to curries, soups, cheese, hummus, or enjoy as a quick standalone snack.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For enhanced flavor, brush warm flatbreads with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt or za’atar immediately after cooking.
02 -
Monitor cooking closely—flatbreads cook rapidly and can burn if left unattended.
03 -
Allowing dough to rest improves handling and yields a more tender crumb.
