Quick and nutritious flatbreads made with cottage cheese and whole wheat flour that are perfect for wraps, sandwiches, or a healthy snack.
Ingredients
Dough Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese Use full-fat or low-fat depending on preference.
- 1 cup whole wheat flour Plus a little for dusting.
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- as needed tablespoon water Add by tablespoon if dough looks too dry.
- 1-2 teaspoons olive oil For cooking each flatbread.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, add cottage cheese, whole wheat flour, egg, salt, and baking powder. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- If the dough looks too dry or crumbly, add water one tablespoon at a time until it holds together but isn’t sticky. The dough should be soft and slightly tacky.
- Divide the dough into 4–6 equal portions, depending on your desired flatbread size.
- Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface to your preferred thickness (about 1/8–1/4 inch is good).
Cooking
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a thin film of olive oil.
- When the oil shimmers, place a flattened dough piece in the pan.
- Cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden-brown and cooked through. Press gently with a spatula; if it feels doughy, give it a little longer.
Serving
- Serve warm, or cool completely and store for meal prep.
Notes
If your cottage cheese is very wet, drain it briefly or pat with a paper towel. For a lighter flatbread, substitute half the flour with all-purpose flour. Can be used with various toppings or served as a side with soups and stews.
