There’s something about homemade flatbread that feels both comforting and satisfying, and when it’s packed with protein-rich cottage cheese, it takes that satisfaction to a whole new level.
This Cottage Cheese Flatbread recipe has been a real game-changer for me, especially when I’m looking for a quick, nutritious meal option.
Whether I’m making breakfast, lunch, or a light dinner, this flatbread fits right into my routine, giving me the energy boost I need without feeling weighed down.
The magic here is in the texture—light, soft, and just the right amount of chew—and the cottage cheese adds a slightly tangy note that makes it stand out from your typical flatbread.
One challenge I used to face with flatbread recipes was keeping them moist without overloading them with oil. Cottage cheese is the perfect solution.
It adds moisture and creaminess, so the bread stays tender, and it sneaks in a solid dose of protein too, which is why this recipe has become a favorite in health-conscious circles.

Made these into 6 balls and used a tortilla press. Used good culture 2% cottage cheese and brushed them with 1/2 tsp olive oil bringing the calorie count to 103 per flat bread. Delicious!

Hi Casie! 😊 Yes, you can definitely save and reheat these flatbreads. Just store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. To reheat, you can warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes, or heat them in a skillet on the stovetop until they’re warmed through. They’ll still taste great! Enjoy!

Can I substitute almond flour in this recipe?

Yes Elaine, you can substitute almond flour for all-purpose flour, but keep in mind that almond flour has a different texture and moisture content. You may need to adjust the amount slightly and consider adding an extra binding agent like an egg to help hold the dough together. The flatbread will also have a nuttier flavor and a more crumbly texture. I'd recommend experimenting and starting with a 1:1 substitution, then adjusting as needed. Let me know how it turns out!
