Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup Cottage cheese Use full-fat for creamier texture; drain slightly for firmer dough
  • 1 cup Almond flour or coconut flour Almond flour gives a mild nutty flavor; coconut flour yields a slightly sweet, denser result
  • 1 large Egg Provides binding and structure; use an extra egg white for a firmer texture
  • to taste Salt Start with 1/4 teaspoon and adjust; use sea salt for cleaner flavor
Optional Flavorings
  • as desired Optional herbs or spices Try garlic powder, dried oregano, fresh chives, or smoked paprika for flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Mix Ingredients
  1. Combine the cottage cheese, almond flour or coconut flour, egg, and salt in a medium bowl until well mixed.
  2. Add herbs or spices if using and fold them in evenly.
Shape Flatbread
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly oil the paper if desired.
  2. Spread the mixture onto the prepared sheet, shaping it into a roughly uniform flatbread about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake
  1. Bake the flatbread for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Rest and Serve
  1. Allow the flatbread to cool slightly on the sheet before slicing for easier handling.

Notes

Use full-fat cottage cheese for a richer texture and better binding when baking at high heat. Pat excess moisture from cottage cheese with paper towels if your dough seems too loose before adding the flour. Spread the mixture evenly to a consistent thickness for uniform cooking, and rotate the baking sheet halfway through.
