Gluten-Free Cottage Cheese Flatbread
Cottage cheese flatbread is an easy, versatile, and nutritious bread alternative that’s perfect for those on a low-carb or keto diet. Made with just a few simple ingredients, it can be customized to suit a variety of tastes and dietary preferences.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese full-fat, reduced-fat, or fat-free
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder optional
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning optional
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil optional for a richer flavor
- 1-2 teaspoons of dried herbs like oregano or thyme optional for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C).
- Place the cottage cheese and eggs in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
- Add garlic powder, Italian seasoning, baking powder, and salt to the mixture and blend again until fully combined.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly to your desired thickness (thin for wraps, thicker for flatbreads).
- Optionally sprinkle herbs like oregano or thyme on top of the dough for extra flavor.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges. For thicker flatbreads, bake for an additional 10-15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy as wraps, a pizza base, or a side to your favorite dishes.
Notes
-
- Customizable: Feel free to add different seasonings like cumin, chili powder, or even curry powder to change the flavor.
- Consistency: If the dough is too runny, you can add a bit of almond flour or coconut flour to thicken it.
- Storage: Store leftover flatbread in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
