Cottage Cheese Bread">Cottage cheese flatbread is the viral two-ingredient sensation that has completely changed the way people think about cottage cheese recipes. With just cottage cheese and flour, you can make soft, pliable, protein-packed flatbreads in under 15 minutes — no yeast, no rising time, no kneading required. Each flatbread delivers 14g of protein, making them a brilliant high-protein alternative to traditional naan or tortillas. The cottage cheese provides moisture, protein, and a subtle flavor that works beautifully with both sweet and savory toppings. Roll them thin for crispy wraps or keep them thicker for pillowy naan-style bread. These cottage cheese flatbreads are incredibly versatile: use them as pizza bases, sandwich wraps, taco shells, or simply tear and dip into hummus. The dough comes together in minutes and cooks in a hot pan in about 2 minutes per side, developing beautiful golden-brown spots and a slightly chewy texture. This cottage cheese flatbread recipe has gone viral on social media for good reason — it's simple, quick, and produces legitimately delicious results. Once you master this basic recipe, you'll never look at cottage cheese the same way again. All nutrition data is verified using USDA FoodData Central for accuracy.

INSTRUCTIONS
Combine cottage cheese, flour, and salt in a bowl. Mix with a fork until a shaggy dough forms. If too sticky, add a bit more flour.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly for 1 minute until smooth. Divide into 4 equal portions.
Roll each portion into a thin circle, about 3mm thick. Dust with flour to prevent sticking.
Heat a dry non-stick pan or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each flatbread for 1-2 minutes per side until golden spots appear and bread puffs slightly.
Brush with a tiny amount of olive oil while warm. Stack and wrap in a clean towel to keep soft.
TROUBLESHOOTING
My cottage cheese recipes are too dry
Try adding 1-2 tablespoons more liquid (milk, yogurt, or egg whites). Also ensure you're not over-measuring the protein powder - use the scoop and level method.
They didn't rise properly
Check your baking powder is fresh (test by adding to hot water - it should bubble vigorously). Also, don't overmix the batter as this can deflate the air bubbles.
The texture is rubbery
This usually means too much protein powder or overbaking. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.
