Cheesy Flatbread Recipe

Cheesy Flatbread Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup warm water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional for extra flavor)
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 clove garlic, minced (optional for garlic butter)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
   • Gradually add the warm water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.
   • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
   • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
2. Roll Out the Dough:
   • Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
   • Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into a thin, round flatbread.
3. Assemble the Flatbread:
   • Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
   • Place one flatbread on the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, until lightly browned.
   • Sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese (and cheddar cheese, if using) over half of the flatbread.
   • Fold the flatbread in half to cover the cheese and press down gently.
4. Cook the Cheesy Flatbread:
   • Cook the folded flatbread for an additional 2-3 minutes on each side, until the cheese is melted and the flatbread is golden brown and crispy.
   • Repeat the process with the remaining flatbreads.
5. Garlic Butter (Optional):
   • In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the minced garlic.
   • Brush the garlic butter over the hot, cooked flatbreads for extra flavor.
6. Serve:
   • Cut the cheesy flatbreads into strips or wedges.
   • Serve hot and enjoy the gooey, cheesy goodness!

Tips:

• You can add your favorite herbs or spices to the cheese filling for extra flavor.
• Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping if desired.
