  • Base dough adapts for gluten-free or almond flour
  • You can serve this warm from the pan or keep it in the fridge for a few days—kids love it in lunchboxes. My favorite way to eat it is warm spread with honey and a pinch of sea salt, which takes me back to childhood breakfasts at my grandmother's house
03 -
  • Always strain cottage cheese if it looks watery for best dough
  • Rest dough balls covered while preheating for extra tenderness
  • Roll flatbreads to even thickness so they cook uniformly
