Cheese and Parsley Flatbread
Soft and flaky cheese and parsley flatbread made with a simple homemade dough. This easy stuffed flatbread recipe is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a savory side dish.
Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 5 cups flour 600 g
- 2 cups water 400 ml, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon yeast
For Greasing:
- 100 g butter melted
- 100 ml vegetable oil
For the Filling:
- 1½ cups white cheese crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and yeast. Gradually add water while mixing until a dough forms.
- Knead: Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Rest the Dough: Cover and let rest for a few minutes, then divide into equal portions.
- Oil Resting: Mix melted butter and vegetable oil. Dip each dough ball into the mixture and let rest in the oil for at least 15 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling: Combine crumbled white cheese and chopped parsley.
- Shape & Fill: Roll out each dough ball gently. Add cheese and parsley filling. Fold to seal and flatten slightly.
- Cook: Cook in a preheated non-stick pan over medium heat until golden brown on both sides (about 3–4 minutes per side).
- Serve: Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Resting the dough in oil is essential for soft, flaky layers.
- You can substitute feta or mozzarella for white cheese.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in a skillet before serving.
