Ingredients:
- For the Flatbread:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ¾ cup warm water (adjust as needed)
- For the Filling:
- 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or a mix)
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- 1 small garlic clove, minced (optional)
- Fresh herbs (like parsley or basil), chopped (optional)
- For Cooking:
- Extra olive oil or butter for cooking
Instructions:
- Make the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Add the olive oil and gradually mix in warm water until a soft dough forms.
- Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a bowl, mix together the shredded cheese, feta cheese, oregano, garlic (if using), and any fresh herbs. Set aside.
- Roll Out the Dough:
- Divide the rested dough into 4 equal portions.
- On a floured surface, roll each portion into a thin circle, about 6-8 inches in diameter.
- Stuff the Flatbreads:
- Place a generous amount of the cheese filling in the center of each circle.
- Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal tightly.
- Cook the Flatbreads:
- Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a little olive oil or butter.
- Place the stuffed flatbreads in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve:
- Remove from the heat and let them cool slightly. Cut in half and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or yogurt.
