\u201cMost on-trend recipe we\u2019ve ever published.\u201d That\u2019s how my colleague described these Chili Crisp Cottage Cheese Flatbreads<\/a>. He wasn\u2019t talking about the chili crisp; he was talking about the protein.<\/p>\n

After peaking in the early 2000s thanks to the Atkins diet, protein is back<\/a> \u2014 everybody, it seems, is talking about it, diversifying the ways they get it, and usually trying to figure out ways to eat more<\/em> of it. You probably have somebody in your life who is thinking about protein this very minute.\u00a0<\/em>(For me, it\u2019s my husband.)<\/p>\n

And the queen of high-protein ingredients? It\u2019s cottage cheese. So I agree with my colleague; when King Arthur\u2019s Test Kitchen published this recipe a few weeks ago, it felt like perfect timing.<\/p>\n

And yet protein wasn\u2019t necessarily top of mind when Sarah Jampel, King Arthur\u2019s Recipe Development and Test Kitchen Manager, started working on these. Instead, she reached for cottage cheese for texture reasons. \u201cLike other acidic ingredients like yogurt or buttermilk, cottage cheese tenderizes the dough and makes it easier to roll out,\u201d she told me. This tracks: These flatbreads are exceptionally soft (especially if you cook them in a skillet on the stove) and terrifically tender. (And thanks to bread flour<\/a>, they also have a little bit of chew.)<\/p>\n

This recipe requires a short list of ingredients, most notably cottage cheese and bread flour<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Of course, cottage cheese brings other things to the table, namely all that protein. There\u2019s 14 grams of protein in each of these flatbreads, which is two more than my favorite protein bar.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not all. The cottage cheese also adds fat, moisture, and its signature tang. (And salt. \u201cCottage cheese is so<\/em> salty,\u201d Sarah says.) To complement the flavor of the cheese, Sarah stirs a tablespoon of crimson chili crisp into the dough along with a generous handful of fresh herbs. Those two additions create a sort of yin and yang \u2014 one is spicy, the other is cooling. (Cilantro is Sarah\u2019s first choice of herb, but I can confirm that the cottage cheese and chili crisp also play nicely with dill.)\u00a0<\/p>\n

To counter the heat further, Sarah recommends pairing these with a dip such as tzatziki. You could also go the other way and schmear them with some Calabrian chili paste. But let\u2019s be real, you know what you and I and everybody else is going to do with these flatbreads. We\u2019re going to double down on the protein and eat them with eggs.<\/p>\n
