Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for gluten-free version)
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup warm water (about 105-110°F / 40-43°C)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast: Combine warm water and sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle active dry yeast on top and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes until frothy and bubbly, indicating the yeast is active.
  2. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, blend cottage cheese and olive oil until smooth. Add the yeast mixture and salt, then gradually incorporate flour, stirring until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
  3. Knead the Dough: Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic, developing the gluten for fluffy texture.
  4. First Rise: Place dough in an oiled bowl and cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Shape and Bake: Gently punch down the dough to release air. Divide and roll into discs approximately 1/2 inch thick. Place on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden brown.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cottage cheese for smooth blending and consistent moisture.
  • Keep the dough slightly tacky and avoid adding too much flour to maintain fluffiness.
  • Warm water should be between 105-110°F to properly activate yeast without killing it.
  • Allow sufficient time for the dough to rise to develop a light, airy texture.
  • Brush baked flatbread with olive oil to add shine and maintain softness.
