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.

- 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.

Cooking Tips:
- Ensure that the dough is kneaded well for a soft and elastic texture.
