I recently crafted a Cottage Cheese Flatbread that combines cottage cheese, egg, whole wheat and all-purpose flour with a hint of oregano. Its soft, airy texture proves perfect for flat bread sandwiches. I enjoy the balance of simple ingredients coming together in this high-protein, easy light recipe.

I’m really excited to share my take on an Easy Cottage Cheese Flatbread that’s soft, healthy and so delicious. This recipe is not only high-protein but also super simple and versatile enough for on the go lunches or a satisfying dinner sandwich.

I love how the rich flavor of 1 cup cottage cheese (you can choose low or full fat) blends perfectly with a large egg, while the combination of 3/4 cup whole wheat flour and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour gives it a unique texture. With a pinch of salt and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, the flatbread rises beautifully to form a light yet fulfilling base that can hold any topping or dip you prefer.

Just add 2 to 3 tablespoons water to get the right consistency and mix in a bit of dried oregano or basil if you want extra flavor. Trust me, once you try this recipe, you wont want to go back to boring bread.

Finally, i appreciate how versatile it is, since i can eat it as a wrap or with my fav dips depending on my mood.

Ingredients

• High in protein, adds creaminess, moisture, and tang; offers essential nutrients for a balanced start.
• Rich in protein, helps bind ingredients, improves texture, and supplies vital vitamins and minerals.
• Packed with fiber and healthy carbs, it lends nutty taste and hearty texture.
• Provides structure and simple carbs, balancing dough for improved chewiness and uniform rise.
• A light lifting agent that helps flatbread rise and become airy, soft, and delicious.
• Boost flavor with subtle, earthy notes, giving your flatbread a pleasantly aromatic finish.
• Adjusts consistency to ensure a smooth, workable dough free from lumps or dryness.

Ingredient Quantities

• 1 cup cottage cheese (low or full fat, whichever you prefer)
• 1 large egg
• 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• A pinch of salt
• 2 to 3 tablespoons water (adjust paste consistency as needed)
• Optional: 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or basil for extra flavor

How to Make this

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and egg until they blend well.

2. Add the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt (and the oregano or basil if you like extra flavor).

3. Stir the mixture until everything is mostly combined. If the batter seems too thick, slowly mix in 2 to 3 tablespoons of water until it forms a smooth, spreadable paste.

4. Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes so the flours can absorb the liquid a bit.

5. Meanwhile, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. If needed, lightly grease the pan.

6. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet and use the back of a spoon to gently spread it out into a thin, round flatbread.

7. Cook for 2-3 minutes until you see the edges starting to set, then carefully flip it over.

8. Cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until it’s nicely golden and cooked through.

9. Remove the flatbread from the pan and set it aside on a plate.

10. Repeat with the remaining batter and serve warm as a wrap, sandwich, or side with your favorite dip.

Equipment Needed

1. A medium-sized bowl to mix cottage cheese and egg
2. A whisk for blending the ingredients evenly
3. Measuring cups to measure the cottage cheese, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and water
4. Measuring spoons for the baking powder and salt (and oregano or basil if you’re using them)
5. A spoon or spatula for stirring the batter until it’s mostly combined
6. A non-stick skillet to cook the flatbread on
7. A plate to set aside the finished flatbread

FAQ

Easy Cottage Cheese Flatbread – Soft, Healthy & So Delicious! Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• If you dont have cottage cheese, try using ricotta or Greek yogurt instead. They give a similar creaminess but might taste a bit different.
• If you dont have an egg or want a vegan option, you can use 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce or a mashed banana. It will change the flavor a little, but it’ll still work.
• If you’re missing whole wheat flour, you can simply use extra all-purpose flour, keep in mind that the nutrition content will be differnt.
• If you dont have all-purpose flour, consider using extra whole wheat flour and possibly a touch more water to keep the dough soft.
• If you’re out of dried oregano or basil, thyme or marjoram can work as alternatives and still add a nice herby kick.

Pro Tips

1. If the batter feels too thick, don’t rush into adding a bunch of water at once – add it little by little and let it rest a few minutes so the flours can really soak it up. This makes it smoother and easier to spread.

2. Make sure your pan is heated on medium-low heat. I’ve seen people use too high heat and then end up with burnt edges while the middle is still raw. Trust me, patience pays off here.

3. If you’re using dried herbs like oregano or basil, try crushing ’em up a bit before adding. This simple hack boosts the flavor and mixes better in the batter.

4. When it comes time to flip, wait until the edges look set and not too runny. This way you can flip the flatbread without it breaking apart, even if the process might be a little nerve-wracking.
