Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup warm water Water should be warm to activate the yeast.

Preparation

  2. Gradually add warm water until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  3. Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 15-20 minutes until it doubles in size.
  4. Once risen, punch the dough down and divide it into equal-sized balls.
  5. Roll each ball out into a flat circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Place a handful of shredded cheese in the center of each circle, leaving space around the edges.
  7. Fold the edges over the cheese to create a pouch, ensuring the filling is completely enclosed.
Cooking
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add a little olive oil if desired.
  2. Cook each flatbread for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Serving
  1. Remove from the skillet and enjoy your Cheese Stuffed Flatbread warm!
