Creating Your Flatbreads
- Dough Formation:
- Mix cottage cheese and flour until they form a cohesive, slightly sticky dough. Add flour gradually if needed.
- Perfect Portions:
- Divide dough into four equal pieces, shaping each into a ball before flattening.
- Rolling Technique:
- Press each portion into an even circle, maintaining consistent thickness throughout.
- Skilled Cooking:
- Heat your pan until properly hot, then cook each flatbread until golden spots appear.
- Final Stage:
- Let breads rest briefly before serving to achieve ideal texture.
Growing up making flatbreads with my mother, I learned that letting the dough rest makes all the difference in texture and workability.
