For Cooking:

Olive oil, for cooking

Instructions:

 

Prepare the Dough:

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.

Mix the ingredients until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.

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

Prepare the Cheese Filling:

In a medium bowl, combine the mozzarella, feta, and ricotta cheeses. If using, add the egg and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined.

Assemble the Flatbread:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Divide the dough into two equal parts. Roll each part into a round, about 1/4-inch thick.

Place half of the cheese mixture in the center of each dough round. Spread the cheese, leaving about 1 inch of dough around the edges.

Fold the edges over the cheese filling and pinch the seams to seal, forming a round or oval shape.

Gently flatten the filled dough with your hands to distribute the cheese evenly.

Cook the Flatbread:

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.

Place one of the stuffed dough rounds in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.

Transfer the cooked flatbread to a baking sheet and brush with melted butter.

Repeat with the second dough round.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve:

Let the flatbreads cool for a few minutes before cutting into slices.

Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Tips:

 

Cheese Variations: Feel free to use your favorite cheeses or add ingredients like garlic or herbs to the cheese filling for extra flavor.

Cooking Method: If you prefer, you can cook the flatbread entirely in the skillet without baking. Simply cover the skillet with a lid after flipping to ensure the cheese melts thoroughly.

Serving Suggestions: This cheesy flatbread pairs wonderfully with a fresh salad, tomato soup, or as a standalone snack.

Enjoy this delightful cheesy stuffed flatbread, a perfect blend of crispy crust and gooey cheese that will surely satisfy your taste buds!
