Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cottage cheese blended
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Method
 

  1. Blend the cottage cheese in a high-power blender until smooth.
  2. Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add the blended cottage cheese and mix until a dough ball forms.
  4. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for several minutes, adding small amounts of flour as needed to manage stickiness without over-flouring.
  5. Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a towel, and let rest in a warm, draft-free area for 45 to 60 minutes.
  6. Divide the rested dough into 12 equal portions and roll each into a hand-sized flatbread using a rolling pin.
  7. Heat a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat and add a small amount of oil.
  8. Cook the flatbreads one at a time for a few minutes on each side.
  9. Transfer the flatbreads to a plate and cover with a clean tea towel.
  10. Serve immediately with your favorite curry or side dish.

Notes

Replacing the yeast with 2 teaspoons of baking powder also works, but traditional flatbreads contain yeast which gives them a distinctive bready, flavour.
 

Storage instructions

These flatbreads keep well in the fridge for 3-5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months if protected well from freezer burn.
