  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Dough:

  • In a blender or food processor, blend cottage cheese, eggs, olive oil, salt, and seasonings until smooth.
  • Add almond flour and baking powder, then mix until a soft dough forms.

2️⃣ Choose Your Cooking Method:

🔥 Baking Method (Crispier Flatbread):

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  • Spread the dough into a thin, round or oval shape (about ¼-inch thick).
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

🍳 Stovetop Method (Softer, Chewier Flatbread):

  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  • Lightly grease with a bit of olive oil or butter.
  • Pour about ¼ cup of the batter per flatbread, spreading it slightly.
  • Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden and firm.

3️⃣ Serving & Storage Tips:

  • Serve warm with your favorite toppings or dips.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze individual pieces wrapped in parchment paper for up to 2 months.

 

Notes

Make it Crispier: Bake longer or brush with olive oil before baking.
Make it Softer: Add an extra tablespoon of cottage cheese or Greek yogurt to the dough.
Dairy-Free Option: Swap cottage cheese for blended tofu or cashew cream.
Keto-Friendly Option: Use almond flour only and add 1 tablespoon coconut flour for extra structure.

🔥 Flatbread Pizza Idea: Bake halfway, then top with marinara sauce, cheese, and veggies, and bake until bubbly!
