Pro Tips Before You Start
Use a blender – Blending the cottage cheese helps avoid any lumps in your dough.
Don’t skip the parchment – It keeps the flatbread from sticking and makes shaping easier.
Go thin – Rolling the dough thinner = crispier edges.
Taste before baking – Adjust salt and seasoning as needed before shaping.
Let it cool slightly – It firms up a bit and holds together better once rested.
How to Make Cottage Cheese Flatbread
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with oil or spray.
Step 2: Blend the Cheese
In a blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth.
This ensures a consistent dough texture.
Step 3: Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, blended cottage cheese, and olive oil.
Add oat flour, baking powder, salt, and optional seasonings.
Stir until a soft dough forms. If it’s too sticky, add a touch more flour.
Step 4: Shape the Flatbreads
Divide the dough into 2–3 equal parts.
On a floured parchment surface, roll each piece into a thin oval or circle, about ¼ inch thick.
Transfer carefully to your prepared baking sheet.
Step 5: Bake Until Golden
Bake for 15–18 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and the flatbread is firm to the touch.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Let cool for a few minutes.
Use warm as a sandwich wrap, pizza base, or side with soup.
What to Serve It With
Grilled chicken or steak wraps
Topped with hummus, avocado, or Greek yogurt dip

Variations / Substitutions
