Ingredients
-
1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat for best texture)
-
2 large eggs
-
⅓ cup oat flour (or almond flour for lower carbs)
-
2 tbsp ground flaxseed (adds fiber and structure)
-
½ tsp baking powder
-
¼ tsp salt
-
¼ tsp garlic powder (optional)
-
1 tbsp fresh herbs (like parsley or chives, optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Blend the Base
3. In a food processor or blender, combine cottage cheese and eggs.
4. Blend until smooth and creamy—this creates the soft texture for your flatbread.
Step 3: Mix the Dough
5. Pour the blended mixture into a mixing bowl.
6. Add oat flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
7. Stir until a thick, slightly sticky batter forms.
8. If using fresh herbs, fold them in now for added flavor.
Step 4: Shape the Flatbread
9. Scoop the batter onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
10. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread into a round or rectangular shape, about ¼-inch thick.
Step 5: Bake Until Golden
11. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and the center is set.
12. For extra crispiness, you can broil for an additional 2–3 minutes at the end (watch carefully to avoid burning).
Step 6: Cool & Slice
13. Let the flatbread cool for 5 minutes to firm up.
14. Slice into pieces or leave whole, depending on how you plan to use it.
Notes
Use Full-Fat Cottage Cheese – Gives the best texture and flavor.
Blend Thoroughly – For a smoother flatbread, blend until completely lump-free.
Make It Crispy – Broil at the end for extra crunch if you like crispy edges.
Flavor Boost – Add Italian herbs, chili flakes, or a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for extra taste.
Double the Batch – This bread freezes well, so make extra and save time later.
