Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup oat flour (or almond flour for a lower-carb option)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Optional Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional, for extra softness)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder or Italian seasoning (optional, for added flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Blend the Cottage Cheese: Place the cottage cheese into a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. This step ensures a uniform texture for the dough and prevents lumps.
- Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, blended cottage cheese, and olive oil if using. Add oat flour, baking powder, salt, and your choice of seasonings such as garlic powder or Italian herbs. Stir thoroughly until well combined. The dough should be soft but manageable; add a bit more flour if it feels too sticky.
- Shape the Flatbread: Divide the dough into 2 to 3 equal portions depending on your preferred flatbread size. Place parchment paper on a clean surface and lightly flour it. Roll each portion into a thin oval shape using a rolling pin, then transfer carefully onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the Flatbread: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the flatbread feels firm to the touch. This indicates it is cooked through.
- Enjoy: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as a wrap base, pizza crust, or dippers with hummus and soups. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for later use.
Notes
- For a crispier texture, bake the flatbread a few minutes longer or briefly toast in a dry skillet on each side.
- To make this recipe dairy-free, substitute regular cottage cheese with a plant-based alternative.
- Use almond flour instead of oat flour for a keto-friendly, lower-carb version.
