This easy-to-follow recipe transforms simple ingredients into a versatile staple for any vegetarian lunch.
Merken Making bread at home doesn't have to be intimidating. By using cottage cheese as a primary wet ingredient, you achieve a softness that usually takes hours of rising, but here, the magic happens in minutes. These flatbreads are as satisfying to make as they are to eat.
Ingredients
- Dry Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting), ½ teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon fine salt, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional).
- Wet Ingredients: ½ cup full-fat cottage cheese (well drained), 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus extra for cooking), 1 teaspoon fresh chopped herbs such as parsley or chives (optional), 1–2 tablespoons water (if needed for consistency).
Instructions
- Step 1
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder until evenly combined.
- Step 2
- In a separate bowl, combine the drained cottage cheese, egg, olive oil, and chopped herbs. Use a fork or small whisk to break up curds until the mixture is relatively smooth.
- Step 3
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until a shaggy dough forms. If the dough feels too dry or crumbly, add water 1 teaspoon at a time until it comes together into a soft, slightly sticky ball.
- Step 4
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Fold and press the dough about 6–8 times, just enough to bring it into a cohesive ball. Do not over-knead.
- Step 5
- Cover the dough ball with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Step 6
- After resting, divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each into a smooth ball. Using a rolling pin or your hands, flatten each ball into a round flatbread about ¼ inch thick, dusting lightly with flour as needed.
- Step 7
- Warm a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat and brush lightly with olive oil.
- Step 8
- Place one rolled flatbread in the hot skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form and the underside is golden brown. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Step 9
- Transfer cooked flatbread to a plate and cover with a clean towel to keep warm and soft. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Step 10
- Serve warm as a wrap, with dips, or as a pizza base with your favorite toppings.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
To ensure your flatbreads stay soft, always keep them covered with a towel immediately after they come off the skillet. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to 1 month. To restore their freshness, simply reheat them in a skillet or the microwave with a damp paper towel.
Varianten und Anpassungen
You can easily adapt this recipe for different dietary needs or flavors. For gluten-free flatbreads, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and add 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed for better texture. For more color and nutrition, try adding finely chopped spinach or sun-dried tomatoes directly into the dough during the mixing stage.
