Ingredients
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
- 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: Using a food processor or blender, blend the cottage cheese until it is smooth. This step ensures a uniform texture for the flatbread dough.
- Mix the Dough: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, smooth cottage cheese, and olive oil. Then add oat flour, baking powder, salt, and optional seasonings like garlic powder or Italian herbs. Stir until combined to form a soft dough that’s not too sticky. Add a bit more flour if necessary.
- Shape the Flatbread: Divide the dough into 2 or 3 portions depending on your preferred flatbread size. Place parchment paper on a clean surface, lightly flour it, and roll each portion into a thin oval shape. Transfer each shaped flatbread 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 is cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy: Serve warm as a wrap, pizza base, or with your favorite dips like hummus or soups. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Notes
- For a lower-carb option, substitute oat flour with almond flour.
- Olive oil is optional but helps make the flatbread softer.
- Seasonings like garlic powder or Italian seasoning enhance flavor but are optional.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- You can reheat the flatbread in a toaster or oven for best texture.
