🧀 Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup warm water (adjust as needed)
For the Filling:
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, grated
- ½ cup cream cheese or soft cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)
For Cooking:
- Butter or oil, for brushing
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and sugar. Add oil and gradually pour in warm water while mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for 20 minutes. - Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, mix the grated mozzarella with cream cheese if using. Set aside. - Shape the Flatbreads
Divide the dough into equal balls. Roll each ball into a small circle. Place a generous amount of cheese filling in the center, gather the edges, and seal well. Gently flatten into a round flatbread. - Cook the Flatbreads
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly puffed. Brush with butter while hot. - Serve
Serve warm and enjoy the stretchy, melted cheese inside.
