Ingredients
1 cup Full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese (drained slightly)
2 large Eggs
1/2 cup Coconut flour (or 1 1/2 cups fine almond flour)
1/2 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Garlic powder or salt (optional, for extra flavor)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Blend the Wet Base
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a food processor or blender, blend the cottage cheese and eggs until completely smooth with no visible curds.
Step 2: Form the Dough
1. Add the coconut flour, baking powder, and garlic powder (or salt) to the blended mixture.
2. Pulse or stir until a soft, pliable dough forms. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes so the coconut flour can absorb the liquid.
3. Divide the dough into 6 to 8 equal portions.
Step 3: Shape & Bake
1. Roll each portion into a ball, place it on the parchment-lined sheet, and press down into flat, round discs (about 1/4-inch thick).
2. (Optional) Lightly dust the tops with a pinch of coconut flour or Italian seasoning.
3. Bake at 375°F for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers feel firm to the touch.
Step 4: Sear for Golden Spots (Optional)
1. For an authentic pita or naan finish, heat a dry skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
2. Cook each baked flatbread for 1 to 2 minutes per side until lightly browned and toasted.
Chef’s Tips
Don’t Skip the Resting Time: Coconut flour needs a few minutes to soak up liquids properly; if the dough feels too wet initially, give it 5 minutes to firm up.
Almond Flour Substitution: If replacing coconut flour with almond flour, use about 3x the volume (1 1/2 cups of almond flour for 1/2 cup of coconut flour).
