Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 150 g all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 330 ml water (room temperature)
  • 1 pinch sugar
Filling Ingredients
  • 300 g cottage cheese
  • 1 pinch salt (for filling)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Fresh dill or parsley, finely chopped

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, vegetable oil, water, and a pinch of sugar. Mix until the dough is smooth and well combined. It should have a slightly sticky texture.
  2. Allow the dough to rest for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the filling. This resting period helps develop the gluten, making the flatbreads more pliable.
  3. Finely chop your chosen herbs (like dill or parsley) and mince the garlic. In another bowl, mix the cottage cheese, a pinch of salt, the chopped herbs, and minced garlic until well blended.
Cooking
  1. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Before you ladle each flatbread, stir the dough to incorporate any settled ingredients, then pour a scoop into the heated pan, spreading it gently to form a round shape.
  3. When the surface of the dough starts to set and small bubbles form, carefully flip it using a spatula.
  4. On one side of the flatbread, place a portion of the cottage cheese filling.
  5. Fold the other half of the dough over the filling, creating a semi-circle shape. Press the edges firmly to seal the filling inside.
  6. Cook until both sides are golden brown, checking periodically to prevent burning.
  7. Optionally, brush the warm flatbreads with melted butter before serving for extra flavor and richness.
  8. Repeat the process until you’ve made about 6-7 flatbreads. Serve them warm and enjoy!

Notes

If you want a richer flavor, consider mixing some grated cheese into the cottage cheese filling. For a bit of kick, add some finely chopped red chili or pepper flakes to the filling. Make sure the pan is not too hot; otherwise, the outside may brown too quickly while the inside remains uncooked. Enjoy fresh, or store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
