Ingredients

Main ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt
• 1/2 cup cottage cheese
• 1/4 cup warm water
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 cup crumbled feta cheese

Optional add-ons

Step-by-step instructions

Step 1 — Mix the dough

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
2. Add the yogurt, cottage cheese, warm water, melted butter and olive oil.
3. Stir until the mixture begins to form a soft dough.

Step 2 — Knead and rest

1. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
2. Cover with a damp towel and let rest for 20 minutes to relax the gluten and make the dough easier to shape.

Step 3 — Shape the flatbreads

1. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and roll each into a ball.
2. Flatten each ball into a round about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick.

Step 4 — Cook and finish

1. Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy nonstick pan over medium-high heat and lightly brush with oil.
2. Cook each flatbread about 2 minutes on the first side until bubbles form, then flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden brown.
3. Remove from the pan and immediately brush with melted butter mixed with minced garlic. Sprinkle chopped parsley and crumbled feta on top while still warm.
4. Serve immediately.

Pro tips for best results

• For deeper garlic flavor, fold roasted garlic into the dough or add a little extra to the finishing butter.
• Always brush with garlic butter while the flatbreads are hot so the flavor soaks in.
• Use fresh parsley or other herbs for brightness and color.
• Keep cooked flatbreads wrapped in a clean cloth to retain softness.

Ways to serve

• As a side to soups such as tomato basil or creamy mushroom.
• For breakfast, top with a fried egg and avocado slices.
• Use as a quick flatbread pizza base: add grilled vegetables and mozzarella, then bake a few minutes to melt.
• Serve with dips like hummus, tzatziki or marinara for an easy appetizer.
