Cottage Cheese Base
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat, low-fat, or fat-free)
- 2 large eggs
Seasonings
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
For Baking
- Cooking spray (for baking sheet)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven – Set your oven to 350°F (176°C) to prepare for baking the flatbread, allowing it to reach the correct temperature while you prepare the batter.
- Blend Ingredients – In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese and eggs. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, ensuring no lumps remain for the best flatbread texture.
- Add Seasonings – Add garlic powder and Italian seasoning to the blended mixture. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors throughout the batter.
- Prepare Baking Sheet – Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking oil to prevent the flatbread from sticking.
- Spread Mixture – Pour the cottage cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, and use a spatula to spread it evenly into a thin layer for uniform baking.
- Bake – Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
- Cool and Remove – Allow the flatbread to cool completely before carefully peeling it away from the parchment paper. This helps it firm up and prevents breaking.
- Serve – Use the flatbread as a wrap, pizza crust, or substitute for pita bread. Enjoy as desired or store for later use.
Notes
- For a thicker and chewier flatbread, bake for up to 50 minutes.
- If you prefer thin wraps, check the flatbread at 25-30 minutes to avoid overbaking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Freeze flatbread between layers of parchment paper for up to one month.
- Reheat in a dry pan or oven at 350°F for a crispier texture before serving.
