👩🍳 Step-by-Step: How Cottage Cheese Flatbread Is Made
This section explains the process in plain language. (The exact measurements and instructions will live in the recipe card.)
- Mix the dough
Cottage cheese and flour are combined until a soft dough forms. The moisture from the cheese replaces water, milk, and oil. - Light kneading
A quick knead brings everything together. No gluten development needed — just smooth and workable. - Divide & roll
The dough is split into portions and rolled thin. This controls texture and cooking time. - Pan-cook
Each flatbread cooks in a hot non-stick pan for just a few minutes per side until golden spots appear. - Serve warm or cool
Enjoy immediately or let cool for wraps and meal prep.
