Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what I usually grab when I make this Cottage Cheese Flatbread Recipe :

• Cottage cheese – I go with full-fat because it makes the dough soft and adds a bit of richness.
• All-purpose flour – This holds the dough together and gives the flatbread its structure. I also keep a little extra nearby for rolling.
• Baking powder – Helps the dough puff slightly as it cooks so it doesn’t feel too dense.
• Salt – Just enough to bring out the flavor in the dough.
• Olive oil – I use a little in the dough to keep it tender and more for brushing the flatbread after it’s cooked.
• Fresh herbs – Optional, but great if you want a little extra flavor mixed into the dough.
• Garlic powder, shredded cheese, or melted butter – These are nice to brush or sprinkle on the warm flatbreads before serving, depending on the flavor you’re going for.

How to Make Cottage Cheese Flatbread

This is a quick overview of how I make Cottage Cheese Flatbread Recipe  , with tips along the way. You’ll find the full ingredients & instructions in the recipe card below.

1. Make the dough . In a medium bowl, I combine the cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, salt, and olive oil. I start with a spatula, but usually switch to my hands once the dough starts to come together. If it feels too sticky, I add a little more flour.
2. Knead the dough . I transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 3 to 5 minutes, until it feels smooth and soft. It should still be slightly tacky but easy to handle.
3. Roll out the dough . Next, I divide the dough into 4 to 6 pieces, depending on how large I want the flatbreads. I roll each one out into a circle or oval — they don’t need to be perfect.
4. Cook the flatbreads . I heat a non-stick skillet over medium and lightly brush it with olive oil. I cook each flatbread for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown spots appear. Then I transfer them to a plate and brush the tops with melted butter or olive oil.
5. Serve and enjoy . While they’re still warm, I’ll sprinkle on garlic powder or shredded cheese, or serve them plain with a little extra cottage cheese for dipping.

What to Serve With Cottage Cheese Flatbread

These flatbreads go with almost anything. I like to serve them with soup or salad for a light meal, or use them as a base for wraps. They’re also great dipped in hummus, tzatziki, or even a little extra cottage cheese. You can turn them into mini pizzas with your favorite toppings, or go sweet with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Recipe Variations and Substitutions

• Whole wheat flour can be used instead of all-purpose for a slightly nuttier flavor and a bit more fiber.
• A gluten-free 1:1 flour blend works if you need a gluten-free version. The texture may be a little softer but still holds together.
• Fresh herbs like parsley, dill, or chives can be mixed into the dough for extra flavor.
• Ricotta cheese can be used instead of cottage cheese. The result is a bit milder but still works well.
• For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based cottage cheese alternative and skip any cheese toppings.
