Ingredients

Scale

Main 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
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional, for extra softness)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder or Italian seasoning (optional, for added flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the flatbread evenly.
  2. Prepare Baking Sheet. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with oil or cooking spray for easy removal and to prevent sticking.
  3. Blend Cottage Cheese. In a food processor or blender, blend the cottage cheese until smooth to create a uniform and creamy texture for the dough.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, blended cottage cheese, and olive oil until well combined.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients. Incorporate the oat flour, baking powder, salt, and optional seasonings into the wet mixture. Stir until you achieve a soft but not sticky dough; add a bit more flour if necessary.
  6. Portion Dough. Divide the dough into 2-3 portions, depending on the desired flatbread size.
  7. Roll Out Dough. On a clean surface, place parchment paper, sprinkle a little flour, and roll each portion into a thin, oval shape.
  8. Transfer to Baking Sheet. Carefully move the rolled dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart slightly.
  9. Bake Flatbreads. Bake for 15-18 minutes until the edges are golden brown, indicating they’re cooked through and firm enough to handle.
  10. Cool Slightly. Remove from the oven and let the flatbreads cool for a few minutes before serving.
  11. Serve. Enjoy warm as a wrap, pizza base, or dipper for hummus or soups.
  12. Store Leftovers. Keep any remaining flatbread in an airtight container to maintain freshness for later use.

Notes

  • You can substitute oat flour with almond flour for a lower-carb option, but almond flour may alter the texture slightly.
  • Adding olive oil is optional but helps make the flatbread softer.
  • Seasonings like garlic powder or Italian seasoning add extra flavor but can be omitted or substituted based on preference.
  • Ensure the dough isn’t too sticky before rolling; add extra flour as needed for ease of handling.
  • Store leftover flatbreads in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
