🧀 Cottage Cheese Flatbread Recipe
🔸 Ingredients (Makes 2 medium flatbreads or 1 large)
-
1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat, your choice)
-
2 large eggs
-
3 tbsp almond flour (or oat flour for a non-keto option)
-
1 tbsp psyllium husk (optional but helps bind and add flexibility)
-
1/4 tsp baking powder
-
1/4 tsp salt
-
1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
-
1/2 tsp dried herbs (oregano, thyme, or basil – optional)
🥣 Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Blend Wet Ingredients
-
Add the cottage cheese and eggs into a blender or food processor.
-
Blend until smooth and creamy – this is key for a uniform batter.
3. Add Dry Ingredients
-
Add almond flour, psyllium husk, baking powder, salt, and optional seasonings.
-
Pulse a few times until well mixed. The batter should be pourable but thick – like pancake batter. If too runny, add a bit more almond flour or a pinch more psyllium.
4. Spread Batter
-
Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet.
-
Use a spatula or back of a spoon to spread into a thin, even layer (¼ inch thick max).
-
Shape it into a rectangle, oval, or circle depending on your purpose.
5. Bake
-
Bake for 20–25 minutes until it’s golden brown around the edges and firm in the center.
-
For a crispier texture, you can flip the flatbread and bake for an extra 5–10 minutes.
6. Cool & Use
-
Let it cool slightly before using.
-
Slice or use whole as a pizza base, sandwich wrap, or flatbread side.
📝 Tips
-
No blender? Mash cottage cheese with a fork or immersion blender until smooth.
-
Storage: Keeps in fridge for 3–4 days in an airtight container. Reheat in a skillet or toaster oven for best texture.
-
Freezer-friendly: Freeze between parchment sheets. Toast directly from frozen.
🍕 Ideas for Use
-
Mini pizzas – add sauce, cheese, and toppings, then broil until melted.
-
Wraps – use for chicken, hummus, or veggie wraps.
-
Dippers – cut into strips for dipping in hummus, tzatziki, or soups.
