Ingredients
  

Flatbread Dough
  • 1 cup Full-Fat Cottage Cheese 225g; blended until smooth
  • 1.5 cups All-Purpose Flour 190g; plus extra for dusting
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder 5g
  • 1/2 tsp Fine Sea Salt 3g

Equipment

  • 1 Cast-Iron Skillet Essential for even heat and charring.
  • 1 High-Speed Blender To puree the cottage cheese until smooth.
  • 1 Rolling Pin For shaping the dough.

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough
  1. Puree the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor until perfectly smooth and creamy.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the blended cheese to the flour and mix until a dough forms. Knead for 1 minute on a floured surface.
Shape and Sear
  1. Divide dough into 4 balls. Roll each out on a floured surface to 1/4 inch thickness, keeping edges rustic.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place dough in the dry pan and cook until puffed with dark charred spots (2-3 mins).
  3. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.

Notes

Use plenty of flour on the work surface to ensure the matte finish.
Stack the hot flatbreads in a towel to keep them soft and chewy.
