Ingredients
Flatbread Base
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 1 large egg, room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the flatbread does not stick and cooks evenly.
- Blend Ingredients: Add the full-fat cottage cheese and the room temperature egg into a blender or food processor. Blend for 30 to 60 seconds until the mixture becomes completely smooth with no visible curds, creating a uniform batter.
- Shape Flatbread: Pour the smooth batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it out into a circle approximately 8-10 inches in diameter and about ¼ inch thick, ensuring even thickness for consistent baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the flatbread for 12 to 15 minutes. Bake until the edges turn a golden brown and the center feels firm when lightly touched, indicating it is cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for 2 to 3 minutes. Cooling helps set the flatbread, preventing any toppings from sliding off when added. Slice and top as desired or enjoy plain.
