Chewy Cottage Cheese Flatbread (Printable Version)

Golden flatbreads enriched with cottage cheese and yogurt for tender, chewy bites perfect for wraps or dips.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dough

01 - 1 2/3 cups plain flour, plus extra for dusting
02 - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
03 - 1/2 cup cottage cheese
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
05 - 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

→ For Cooking

06 - 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter

# How To Make It:

01 - In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
02 - Add the Greek yogurt and cottage cheese to the dry mixture; stir using a spoon or your hands until a rough dough forms.
03 - Lightly flour a work surface and knead the dough gently for 2 to 3 minutes until smooth, adding additional flour if it feels sticky.
04 - Divide the dough into six equal portions and shape each into a ball.
05 - Roll each dough ball into a flat circle approximately 1/4 inch thick, dusting with flour as needed to prevent sticking.
06 - Heat a nonstick skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat and brush lightly with olive oil or melted butter.
07 - Cook one or two flatbreads at a time for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown spots form and the bread is cooked through.
08 - Transfer cooked flatbreads to a plate and cover with a clean towel to retain warmth. Repeat with remaining dough.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're ready in 30 minutes start to finish, so you can make warm bread while dinner cooks.
  • The cottage cheese keeps them impossibly tender and gives you a subtle tang that makes everything taste more interesting.
  • One batch makes six, which means leftovers for tomorrow's lunch wraps.
02 -
  • Don't skip the gentle kneading—it's what keeps these tender instead of tough, and two minutes is really all you need.
  • If your dough is too sticky to roll, add flour one teaspoon at a time rather than guessing how much you need.
03 -
  • Cast iron holds heat more evenly than nonstick, so you get more consistent golden spots—but nonstick works fine if that's what you have.
  • Brush the cooked flatbreads lightly with butter or ghee right off the pan for a richer taste and a slight shine.
