Reset Kitchen Notes

This flatbread is surprisingly versatile. Serve it alongside soups, curries, grain bowls, roasted vegetables, or Mediterranean platters. The protein-rich cottage cheese creates a tender crumb while boosting the nutritional value far beyond traditional flatbreads.

For a dairy-free variation, substitute 1 cup silken tofu for the cottage cheese. For a breakfast version, skip the garlic butter and brush with melted butter, cinnamon, and a light sprinkle of monk fruit or allulose sweetener.
