I love making this Fluffy Cottage Cheese Flatbread when I want something soft, warm, and comforting that also feels wholesome. It’s light yet satisfying, and I enjoy how the cottage cheese adds both tenderness and a subtle richness to the dough.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I like this recipe because it’s easy, versatile, and made with simple ingredients. I enjoy how the flatbread turns out fluffy on the inside with a lightly golden exterior. It works well as a side, a wrap base, or even as a quick snack straight from the pan.
Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1 cup cottage cheese
1 large egg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
I start by blending the cottage cheese and egg until smooth. I pour the mixture into a bowl and stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until a soft dough forms.
I lightly flour a work surface and divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. I roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it into a round flatbread.
I heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and brush it lightly with olive oil. I cook each flatbread for about 2–3 minutes per side, until it puffs slightly and turns golden with light brown spots. I remove them from the pan and keep them warm while I finish cooking the rest.
Servings And Timing
This recipe makes 4 flatbreads.
Prep time: 10 minutes

Variations
I sometimes add garlic powder or dried herbs to the dough for extra flavor. When I want a heartier flatbread, I mix in a little whole wheat flour. I also enjoy using these flatbreads as pizza bases with simple toppings.
Storage/Reheating
I store leftover flatbreads in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, I warm them in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and heated through.
FAQs
Can I use low-fat cottage cheese?
I’ve used low-fat cottage cheese, and it still works well, though the texture is slightly less rich.

I blend it to get a smoother dough, but small curds will still work if I don’t mind a bit of texture.

I prefer cooking it in a skillet, but I’ve baked it at 400°F (200°C) for about 10–12 minutes with good results.
Is this flatbread freezer-friendly?
I freeze cooked flatbreads with parchment between them and reheat as needed.
What can I serve with this flatbread?
I like serving it with soups, salads, or using it as a wrap for savory fillings.
