This high protein cottage cheese flatbread has become one of my favorite weekday staples. With just a few ingredients, it transforms into a soft pliable flatbread perfect for wraps or a pizza base. I often make it when I want something satisfying but light and gluten free.
I started making this when store bought options disappointed me with their taste and ingredients. Now I always keep a few slices in the fridge for quick meals.
Ingredients
- Cottage cheese: one cup drained properly for better batter texture and moisture balance
- Large eggs: two as they hold everything together and give the bread a soft body
- Garlic powder: adds a mellow savory layer without being overpowering
- Italian seasoning: adds herb flavor and complexity
- Full fat cottage cheese and fresh eggs: for the best flavor and binding
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Batter:
- Blend cottage cheese eggs garlic powder and Italian seasoning in a food processor or blender for thirty seconds until the mixture is smooth and creamy
- Prep the Pan:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray lightly with oil then pour and spread the batter evenly to about three eighths to one half inch thickness
- Bake the Flatbread:
- Preheat the oven to three hundred fifty degrees Fahrenheit bake for thirty minutes until edges turn golden and the flatbread feels firm in the center
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the flatbread cool fully before handling this gives it the flexibility to roll or cut neatly for sandwiches and wraps
