Instructions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese and flour. Mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. If the dough is too wet, add a little more flour; if too dry, add a splash of milk or water.

Step 2

Lightly dust a clean surface with flour. Turn out the dough and knead gently 2-3 times until smooth. Pat or roll into a 6-inch round, about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the flatbread in the dry skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook another 2-3 minutes until both sides are golden and the flatbread is cooked through.

Step 4

Transfer to a plate and let cool slightly. Serve warm with your favorite toppings or as a wrap. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
