Ingredients
Scale
Flatbread Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup almond flour (or coconut flour)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt, to taste
- Olive oil, for drizzling
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the flatbreads to a crisp and golden finish.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, almond flour, eggs, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until you achieve a uniform batter.
- Shape Flatbreads: Divide the batter into 2 to 4 portions depending on your preferred flatbread size. Place each portion on the prepared baking sheet and flatten it with your hands or a spatula to about 1/2 inch thickness.
- Drizzle Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over each flattened portion to enhance flavor and help develop a golden crust during baking.
- Bake: Bake the flatbreads in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, watching closely. Remove them when the edges are golden brown and the tops look slightly crispy.
- Cool and Garnish: Allow the flatbreads to cool for a few minutes. Then garnish with freshly chopped parsley to add a fresh and aromatic touch.
- Serve: Serve warm as a high-protein, low-carb alternative to traditional bread, great for toppings or enjoyed plain.
Notes
- Almond flour can be substituted with coconut flour for a different flavor and texture, but adjustments in quantity may be needed as coconut flour absorbs more moisture.
- If a crispier texture is desired, bake a few extra minutes but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- This flatbread can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated gently before serving.
- For added flavor, consider sprinkling herbs or seeds on top before baking.
- Great for gluten-free diets due to the absence of wheat-based flours.
