Flatbread Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 eggs
- Seasoning to taste (optional; recommended: garlic powder, Italian seasoning)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare baking sheet: Preheat your oven to 350° F (175° C) and line a sheet pan (approximately 10×15 inches) with parchment paper. Lightly spray the parchment with cooking spray or rub it with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
- Blend the batter: Place the cottage cheese, eggs, and optional seasonings into a food processor, blender, immersion blender, or NutriBullet. Pulse or blend for about 30 seconds until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
- Spread and bake: Pour the blended mixture onto the prepared sheet pan and spread it evenly to form a thin layer. Bake on the center rack of the oven for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the flatbread turns golden brown and is cooked through.
- Cool the flatbread: Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes to firm up before handling.
- Customize for serving: For pizza crust, add your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings, then return to the oven for a few minutes to melt. For sandwich wraps, load with your desired fillings, roll into a log, and slice down the center to create two generously sized wraps.
Notes
- Use a sheet pan about 10×15 inches so the batter can spread thinly to create a thin flatbread.
- Season according to preference; garlic powder and Italian seasoning work well. Be cautious with salt since cottage cheese is already salty.
- Oven temperatures vary, so check around 28 minutes for doneness to avoid overbaking.
- While possible to bake in an air fryer, texture is less ideal. If using an air fryer, halve the recipe to ensure a thin flatbread and prevent egginess.
- This flatbread can also be used for cheesy garlic bread or other creative dishes.
- Store cooled flatbread wrapped tightly in plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 3 days, or double-wrap with plastic and foil and freeze for up to one month.
