📝 Ingredients
Serves 4🥬Fresh Produce(3)
- 5 cloves of garlic
- Garlic and onion powder to tasteoptional
- Parsley to tasteoptional
🥛Dairy & Eggs(2)
- Light mozzarella and parmesan cheese to taste (or other cheeses of your preference)optional
- 2 packages of cottage cheese
🫙Pantry Staples(2)
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder (5 ml)
- 2 packages of flour (measured with the cottage cheese container)
👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Start by mixing 2 packages of cottage cheese in a bowl.
- 2
Add 2 packages of flour, parsley, minced garlic, garlic and onion powder, and your choice of cheese.
- 3
Mix in 1 teaspoon of baking powder and a pinch of salt.
- 4
Knead the dough until it is slightly sticky, adding flour to your hands and the surface as needed.
- 5
Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper for easy transfer to the baking tray.
- 6
Bake in the oven at 180°C (356°F) for about 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth before combining with flour, since intact curds create pockets of excess moisture that lead to gummy, dense spots in the baked dough.technique30-45 seconds blending
- ✓Let the kneaded dough rest for 10 minutes before rolling so the flour fully hydrates and gluten strands relax, making the dough easier to roll thin without springing back.timing10 minutes
- ✓Drain the cottage cheese in a fine-mesh sieve for 15 minutes to remove excess whey, since too much liquid dilutes the baking powder's reaction and results in a flatter, less airy bread.ingredient15 minutes
- ✓Bake on the middle rack with a preheated baking stone or inverted sheet pan underneath, as the stored thermal mass gives a quick blast of bottom heat that crisps the base before the interior overcooks.equipment180°C (356°F)
- ✓Check for doneness at the 30-minute mark by pressing the center gently; it should spring back within 1-2 seconds, indicating the baking powder's CO2 release has fully set the crumb structure without drying out the cheese proteins.timing30-35 minutes
