This Easy 2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Flatbread Recipe is the kind of simple magic that transforms a humble ingredient into something that feels way more gourmet. With just cottage cheese and flour, this flatbread turns out pillowy soft inside with crisped, golden edges. It’s a blank canvas you can top with herbs, garlic oil, or whatever flavor adventure you’re craving.

Can You Use Any Cottage Cheese for This Recipe?

Yes, but the texture will slightly vary depending on the type. Small curd, full-fat cottage cheese creates the richest and smoothest dough, while low-fat or dry curd versions may lead to a drier result. You can blend your cottage cheese to make it smoother before mixing with flour.

Ingredients for the Easy 2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Flatbread Recipe

Cottage Cheese: The star of the show! It provides protein, moisture, and the perfect amount of tang that balances beautifully when cooked.
All-Purpose Flour: Essential to create a structure for the dough. It absorbs the moisture from the cheese and gives the flatbread that chewy, bread-like quality.

How To Make the Easy 2-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Flatbread Recipe

Step 1: Blend and Smooth

Add your cottage cheese to a blender or food processor. Blend until it’s silky smooth. This gives your dough a more cohesive texture and makes it easier to work with.

Step 2: Form the Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine equal parts blended cottage cheese and all-purpose flour. Stir until a dough forms. If it’s sticky, sprinkle in a bit more flour until it’s pliable and smooth.

Step 3: Roll It Out

Dust your surface lightly with flour. Divide the dough and roll each portion into a flat round or oval—about 1/4 inch thick. Don’t worry about perfect shapes.

Step 4: Cook Until Golden

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. No oil needed. Cook each flatbread for 2–3 minutes per side, or until puffed up and golden brown with charred spots.

Step 5: Serve or Customize

Serve warm as is, or brush with melted garlic butter, sprinkle with herbs, or top with your favorite flatbread toppings.

How to Serve and Store This Flatbread

These flatbreads are ultra-versatile. You can use them as a wrap for grilled chicken, a pizza base, or simply tear and dip into hummus, soups, or curries. They’re fantastic fresh off the skillet but also reheat beautifully.

To store: Let them cool completely, then wrap in foil or place in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze with parchment between layers for up to a month. Reheat in a dry skillet or toaster oven to revive that fresh-baked feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this gluten-free?

Yes, you can substitute with a 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Just note the texture may be slightly more delicate.

Do I need to let the dough rest?

Nope! That’s one of the best parts. It’s ready to roll and cook right away.

Can I bake this instead of pan-cooking?

You can! Bake at 400°F for 8–10 minutes on a parchment-lined baking sheet until golden and set.

What can I top this with?

Anything from garlic butter and herbs to shredded cheese, za’atar, or even a brush of tomato sauce.

Is it okay to make the dough ahead of time?

You can mix the dough and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Just bring it to room temp before rolling.

Why is my dough sticky?

Cottage cheese brands vary in moisture. Add more flour a tablespoon at a time until the dough is workable.
