Directions
Make the Dough:
In a large bowl, combine the warm water and sugar, then sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
Add the flour, salt, and olive oil into the yeast mixture. Mix until it forms a dough, then knead it on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and stretchy.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it, and let it rest for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Prepare the Filling:
In a small bowl, mix the shredded cheese, chopped herbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Shape the Dough:
After the dough has risen, gently press it down to release any air. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a small ball, then flatten each into a circle.
Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each circle, then fold the dough over the filling, pressing the edges together to seal.
Roll and Cook the Flatbreads:
Gently flatten each filled dough ball into a circle, ensuring the filling stays inside.
Heat a non-stick pan or flat cooking surface over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and puffed up.
Repeat with the remaining flatbreads, adding a little oil to the pan if necessary.
Serve:
Serve the warm flatbreads with your favorite dips or side dishes. Enjoy!
Tips for Making Delicious Stuffed Flatbreads
Use warm water: Warm water activates the yeast and helps the dough rise, creating light and airy flatbreads.
Seal tightly: After adding the filling, ensure the edges are sealed tightly to avoid any spills while cooking.
Experiment with fillings: Try different fillings such as mashed potatoes, spinach, or minced meat for variety.
Cheese and onion: Add diced onions to the cheese for extra flavor.
Spicy options: For a spicy kick, add jalapeño pieces or red chili flakes to the filling.
Sweet fillings: For a dessert version, try Nutella, cinnamon sugar, or fruit jam as the filling.
