Flatbread Base
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Blend Ingredients: Add the full-fat cottage cheese and the room temperature large egg to a blender or food processor. Blend for 30-60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth, with no visible curds of cottage cheese remaining. This ensures a smooth and even flatbread texture.
- Shape the Flatbread: Pour the blended mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a spatula, spread it into a circle approximately 8 to 10 inches wide and about ¼ inch thick. Ensure it is evenly spread to bake uniformly.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges turn golden brown and the center feels set when lightly touched. This indicates the flatbread is fully cooked and ready.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the flatbread cool for 2-3 minutes. Cooling helps to firm it slightly, preventing toppings from sliding off. You can then add your favorite toppings or slice and serve as desired.
Notes
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for the best texture and flavor in the flatbread.
- Ensure the egg is at room temperature to blend more evenly.
- Allow the flatbread to cool slightly before adding toppings to avoid sogginess.
- The flatbread can be customized with a variety of toppings such as herbs, vegetables, or meats after baking.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free and high in protein.
