Flatbread Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese (let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes for fluffier results)
- 1 large egg (room temperature preferred for better binding and texture)
- Optional: ⅛ teaspoon baking powder for extra lift
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, making sure the parchment extends over the edges for easy removal later.
- Blend Ingredients: Add the full-fat cottage cheese and egg to a blender or food processor. Blend for 30-60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth with no visible curds. If you don’t have a blender, whisk vigorously by hand until smooth, though texture may be less even.
- Shape the Flatbread: Pour the smooth mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a spatula, spread it into a circle about 8-10 inches wide and ¼ inch thick, maintaining consistent thickness for even baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center feels set when lightly touched. The surface should appear matte and the edges should slightly pull away from the parchment.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the flatbread to cool for 2-3 minutes before adding toppings or slicing. This resting period prevents toppings from sliding off and makes handling easier.
Notes
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for the best texture and richest flavor.
- Letting cottage cheese come to room temperature before blending results in a fluffier flatbread.
- Adding ⅛ teaspoon of baking powder is optional but helps add extra lift.
- Store leftover flatbread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best texture and safety, consume within 2 days.
- Reheat in a 300°F oven or toaster oven for about 5 minutes to restore crisp edges. Avoid microwaving to prevent rubbery texture.
- This flatbread is perfect for meal prep and can be used as a base for pizzas, wraps, or protein-packed snacks.
