A quick and easy flatbread recipe using cottage cheese and everything seasoning, perfect for a protein-packed snack or light meal with crispy edges and a soft, cheesy center.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup small-curd cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g) (can substitute almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons everything seasoning (blend of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried onion, and garlic flakes)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus extra for cooking and drizzling)
  • Fresh herbs (optional, such as chopped parsley or chives)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of everything seasoning.
  2. Add 1 cup of small-curd cottage cheese to the dry ingredients and stir gently to combine.
  3. Pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and mix until a slightly sticky but manageable dough forms. If too wet, add more flour a tablespoon at a time.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat and brush lightly with olive oil.
  5. Shape the dough with floured hands into a flat circle about 6 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick.
  6. Place the dough in the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crisp.
  7. Flip carefully and cook the other side for 3-4 minutes. Optionally, sprinkle more everything seasoning on top during the last minute of cooking.
  8. Transfer to a plate and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

Use medium heat to avoid burning and ensure even cooking. Use small-curd cottage cheese for best texture. Do not overmix the dough to keep it tender. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet or toaster oven for best texture. Avoid microwaving to maintain crispness.
