An easy, protein-rich cottage cheese flatbread recipe no egg — made with just cottage cheese and self-rising flour. Fluffy, soft, and perfect for wraps, sandwiches, or pizza crusts.
1 cup full-fat or whipped cottage cheese
1 cup self-rising flour
(Or: 1 cup all-purpose flour + 1½ tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt)
Optional Add-ins:
¼ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp Italian seasoning
¼ tsp onion powder
1 tsp fresh herbs (chives, parsley, dill)
Combine the ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup of cottage cheese and 1 cup of self-rising flour (or all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt). Use a spoon or spatula to mix until a rough, shaggy dough begins to form.
Knead the dough:
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead for 1–2 minutes with your hands until the dough is soft, smooth, and slightly sticky. If the dough feels too wet, sprinkle with a bit more flour.
Divide and shape:
Cut the dough into 4–6 equal portions. Roll each piece into a ball. Then, using a rolling pin, roll each ball out on a floured surface into a thin circle about 1/8 inch thick.
Cook the flatbreads:
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place one flatbread at a time into the dry pan and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots form and the surface bubbles.
Keep warm and soft:
As each flatbread finishes cooking, stack them on a plate and immediately cover with a clean kitchen towel. This helps trap steam and keeps the flatbreads soft and pliable for serving.
This cottage cheese flatbread recipe no egg stores well in the fridge for 3–4 days. You can also freeze it between layers of parchment paper. Reheat in a skillet or toaster oven for best results. Add garlic powder or herbs to the dough for extra flavor.
