Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (drained if needed)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Optional Ingredients

  • Fresh herbs (dill, parsley, chives) – 1-2 tablespoons chopped
  • Garlic powder or minced garlic – ½ teaspoon or to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all ingredients, measuring flour, cottage cheese, yogurt, olive oil, baking powder, salt, and optional herbs or garlic. Drain excess liquid from cottage cheese if needed for smoother dough.
  2. Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and olive oil until a sticky dough forms. Fold in fresh herbs or garlic if using.
  3. Knead and Rest: Lightly flour a clean surface and knead the dough briefly until smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes to relax the dough and make rolling easier.
  4. Roll Out the Flatbread: Divide dough into equal portions and roll each into thin rounds. Adjust thickness as desired for crispier or softer flatbread.
  5. Cook the Flatbread: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown spots appear and fully cooked. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
  6. Serve Warm: Enjoy the flatbread immediately or keep warm wrapped in a clean towel to retain softness and flavor.

Notes

  • Drain cottage cheese to reduce moisture and avoid soggy dough.
  • Do not over-knead to keep the flatbread tender.
  • Use a hot skillet to develop golden brown spots evenly.
  • Experiment with fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or basil to enhance flavor.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and taste.
