Ingredients
For the Dough:

- 1/3 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 330ml (1⅓ cups) room temperature water
- Pinch of sugar
- 20g (1½ tablespoons) melted butter
For the Cottage Cheese Filling:
- 300g (1¼ cups) cottage cheese
- Pinch of salt
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill or parsley, finely chopped
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, vegetable oil, water, and a pinch of sugar. Whisk until completely smooth with no lumps.
- Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the filling.
Make the Filling
- Finely chop the fresh dill or parsley and mince the garlic clove.
- In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, minced garlic, chopped herbs, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.
- Stir the melted butter into the rested batter just before cooking.
Cook the Flatbreads
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil.
- Stir the batter before each flatbread, then pour enough batter to cover the bottom of the pan (like making a crepe).
- Cook for 1-2 minutes until the top is completely set and the bottom is lightly golden.
- Carefully flip the flatbread and immediately spread cottage cheese filling on half of the surface.
- Fold the empty half over the filling, creating a half-moon shape. Press gently to seal the edges.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
- Brush the finished flatbread with melted butter and keep warm while cooking the remaining flatbreads.
