Ingredients:
For the Dough:
350g (3 cups) flour
150 ml warm water
1 tablespoon salt
75 ml vegetable oil
6g baking powder
Oil for frying
For the Stuffing:
200g cheese (mozzarella or your favorite melting cheese)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Directions:
Prepare the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder.
Add the vegetable oil and mix until the flour absorbs the oil.
Gradually add warm water, mixing continuously until a dough forms.
Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
Prepare the Stuffing:
Grate or finely chop the cheese.
Mix the cheese with the dried oregano in a bowl.
Assemble the Flatbreads:
Divide the dough into equal portions.
Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten into a circle using a rolling pin.
Place a portion of the cheese and oregano mixture in the center of each circle.
Fold the dough over the filling, sealing the edges with a little water if necessary.
Cook the Flatbreads:
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Place the stuffed flatbreads in the pan and fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown.
Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve hot with a side of fresh salad, or with a dipping sauce like tzatziki or marinara.
These flatbreads can be paired with roasted vegetables for a well-rounded meal.
Enjoy them as a snack with a cooling yogurt dip.
Serve as a side dish alongside grilled meats or a hearty soup.
Perfect for lunch or as a fun appetizer for parties.
Cooking Tips:
Ensure that the dough is kneaded well for a soft and elastic texture.
Use warm water to activate the dough, which helps with a smoother consistency.
You can experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or feta for a varied flavor.
If the dough is sticky, sprinkle a little more flour while kneading.
