# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The flatbread stays tender but never gets soggy, thanks to cottage cheese and oat flour.
  • You can pile on your favorite toppings without guilt—this is substantial and nourishing.
02 -
  • Let the flatbread cool for a minute before adding toppings, or it gets too soft underneath.
  • Switching out oat flour for regular flour makes the base less flavorful—stick with oats!
03 -
  • Always blend cottage cheese extra smooth—lumps make the crust uneven.
  • Baking on parchment guarantees perfect, easy removal every time.
