👨🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Make the Dough
In a bowl, mix cottage cheese, flour, baking powder, salt, garlic, herbs, and olive oil. Stir until a soft dough forms. If sticky, add a little more flour.
Step 2: Shape the Flatbreads
Divide dough into 4 portions. Roll or press each into small flat rounds (about ¼ inch thick).
Step 3: Preheat Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) for 2–3 minutes.
Step 4: Cook
Place flatbreads on parchment paper in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through.
Step 5: Serve
Serve warm with yogurt dip, hummus, or as a wrap base.
