1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning (customize based on preference)
1 teaspoon Oregano (optional, for topping)

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the flatbread.

Add Seasonings: Incorporate 1 teaspoon of garlic powder and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning into the mixture. Adjust seasoning to your taste preferences.
Prepare Baking Sheet: Grease a baking sheet lightly to prevent sticking, then spread the cottage cheese mixture evenly over the surface to form a flatbread shape.
Optional Topping: Lightly dust the top of the mixture with 1 teaspoon of oregano for additional flavor, if desired.
Bake Flatbread: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the flatbread turns golden brown on top and cooked through.
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the flatbread from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing into portions and serving.
