List of items needed to make a recipe.
2 and a half cups of all-purpose flour
1 cup of water at a comfortable temperature
1 small spoonful of sugar
1 small spoon of salt
2 teaspoons of quick-rise yeast
2 spoons of olive oil
For the stuffing (if desired):
1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or the one you like best)
1/2 cup of freshly chopped herbs like parsley, cilantro, or chives.
1 teaspoon of powdered garlic
Add salt and pepper according to your preference.
Directions
Make the dough.
In a big bowl, mix the warm water and sugar, then sprinkle the yeast on top. Leave it for approximately 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Put the flour, salt, and olive oil into the yeast mixture. Mix the ingredients until they form a dough, then knead on a surface with flour for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and stretchy.
Put the dough in a bowl with a little oil, cover it, and leave it for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Get the ingredients ready.
In a little bowl, combine the shredded cheese, chopped herbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Taste the flatbread and add more seasoning if needed.
Cut and mold the dough.
After the dough has grown in size, press it down to let out any air. Cut it into 8 equal pieces.
Make each part flat like a circle, put a spoonful of filling in the middle, and fold the dough over the filling, pressing the edges together to close.
Roll the dough with the filling inside.
Carefully flatten each filled dough ball into a circle shape without letting the filling come out. This is part of the flatbread recipe.
Make the flatbreads.
Warm up a non-stick pan or flat cooking surface on medium heat. Put each flatbread in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until it turns golden brown and puffs up.
Do the same with the rest of the flatbreads, adding a little oil to the pan if necessary.
Wait on tables.
Heat them up and savor these filled flatbreads with your preferred dips or side dishes.
Advice for Making Delicious Stuffed Flatbreads
Use water that is warm. Hot water helps the yeast work, making the dough light and airy.
Close tightly: After you put the filling in, make sure to close the edges tightly to avoid any spills while cooking.
Choose your favorite filling: Experiment with various fillings such as mashed potatoes, cooked spinach, or minced meat to add variety.
Differences
Cheese and onion: Mix some diced onions with the cheese to add more taste.
Spicy Filling: Add pieces of jalapeños or sprinkle red chili flakes into the filling for a spicy flavor.
Tasty Choice: For a delicious variation, stuff the flatbreads with Nutella, cinnamon sugar, or jam.
