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:

  1. 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.
  2. Prepare the Filling:
    • In a bowl, mix together the shredded cheese, feta cheese, oregano, garlic (if using), and any fresh herbs. Set aside.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Serve:
    • Remove from the heat and let them cool slightly. Cut in half and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or yogurt.
