Cottage Cheese Flatbread

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup cottage cheese (small or large curd)
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
• 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella or parmesan (optional for extra flavor)
• Fresh herbs (chives, parsley, or dill) for garnish

‍ Instructions:

Preheat oven:

Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Make dough:

In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder (if using).

Add cottage cheese and egg. Stir until dough comes together. It will be slightly sticky.

Shape flatbread:

Lightly flour a surface and your hands. Turn dough out and gently knead a couple of times.

Roll or press dough into a roughly 8-inch circle or oval about 1/4-inch thick on the prepared baking sheet.

Add cheese (optional):

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella or parmesan over the top if desired.

Bake:

Bake for 15–18 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.

Serve:

Garnish with fresh herbs. Enjoy warm with toppings like sautéed veggies, smoked salmon, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Variations:

Add herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dough.

Mix in some finely chopped spinach or sun-dried tomatoes.

Use Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese for a tangier flavor.”
