Cheese-Stuffed Flatbreads

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.
