Instructions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup cottage cheese and 1 cup self-rising flour. Stir until a shaggy dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour; if too dry, add a splash of milk.

Step 3

Roll each portion into a 6-inch circle, about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown spots appear and the bread is cooked through.

Step 5

Serve warm as a wrap, pizza base, or garlic bread. Alternatively, store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

For best results

  • For a crispier flatbread, cook a little longer on each side until deep golden.
  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for a richer flavor and softer texture.
  • If the dough is too sticky, refrigerate for 10 minutes before rolling.

Variations

  • Add dried herbs like rosemary or oregano to the dough for extra flavor.
  • Use gluten-free self-rising flour for a gluten-free version.
  • Top with shredded cheese and sauce for a mini flatbread pizza.
