FAQs

Can I use this crust recipe for other types of flatbreads?

Yes, this simple dough works well as a base for flatbreads. Just adjust the thickness and baking time as needed.

Is cottage cheese necessary, or can I substitute it?

Cottage cheese provides moisture and a tender texture, but ricotta can be a good substitute if you prefer. Avoid using dry cheeses that won’t bind the dough properly.
