Cheese and Oregano Stuffed Flatbread Recipe

For the Stuffing:

200 g of cheese (e.g., mozzarella or your favorite melting cheese)
1 teaspoon of dried oregano

Directions

Prepare the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder.
Add the vegetable oil and mix well until the flour has absorbed the oil.
Gradually add the warm water, mixing continuously until a dough forms.
Knead the dough well for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. This step is crucial for the texture of the flatbread.
Cover the dough 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 dried oregano in a bowl.

Assemble the Flatbreads:

Divide the dough into equal portions, depending on the size of the flatbreads you prefer.

Roll each portion into a ball.
Flatten each ball 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 well. You can use a little water to help seal the edges.
Cook the Flatbreads:
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Place the stuffed flatbreads in the pan and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the flatbreads hot, with a side of fresh salad or a dipping sauce like tzatziki or marinara.
These flatbreads also pair well with soups or can be enjoyed on their own as a snack.
