Cheese-Stuffed Flatbread Recipe

Cheese-Stuffed Flatbread Recipe

Ingredients:

For the dough:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon instant yeast

3/4 cup warm water

2 tablespoons olive oil

For the filling:

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Optional additions: chopped herbs, minced garlic, or sautéed onions

Instructions:

Prepare the Dough:

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar, and yeast.

Add warm water and olive oil. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Prepare the Filling:

In a bowl, mix together the mozzarella cheese, feta cheese, and black pepper. Add any additional fillings if desired.

Assemble the Flatbreads:

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 4 equal pieces.

Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it into a disc about 1/4 inch thick.

Place a portion of the cheese mixture in the center of each disc.

Fold the edges over the filling, pinching them together to seal, and gently flatten into a filled pancake shape.

Cook the Flatbreads:

Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly oil it.

Place one flatbread in the skillet and cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.

Flip the flatbread and cook the other side until golden brown and the cheese inside is melted, about another 3-4 minutes.

Repeat with the remaining flatbreads.

Serve:

Serve the cheese-stuffed flatbreads warm, ideally fresh off the skillet.

These flatbreads are wonderfully versatile and can be adjusted to include different types of cheese or fillings based on your preferences.

They make a great snack or accompaniment to a meal.
