• Cook Time: 20 minutes
• Total Time: 1 hour 40 minutes
• Yield: 6–8 flatbreads

Ingredients

For the Dough

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp dry yeast
• 1 cup warm milk
• 2 tbsp plain yogurt
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil

For the Filling (Example: Cheese & Herbs)

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella or feta cheese
• 2 tbsp chopped parsley or green onions
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
2. Add flour, salt, yogurt, and oil. Mix and knead into a soft dough (about 8–10 minutes by hand or mixer).
3. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, until doubled.
4. Meanwhile, prepare your filling by mixing cheese, herbs, and pepper in a small bowl.
5. Divide the dough into 6–8 balls. Roll each ball into a small circle, place some filling in the center, and pinch edges to seal.
6. Gently flatten filled dough balls with your hands or a rolling pin.
7. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each flatbread 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and puffed.
8. Brush with melted butter (optional) and serve warm.

Storage

• Fridge: Store cooked flatbreads in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Freezer: Wrap individually and freeze up to 1 month. Reheat in a pan or oven.

Tips & Variations

• Try other fillings like mashed potatoes, sautéed onions, minced beef, or spicy ground chicken.
• Add garlic powder or herbs to the dough for more flavor.
• Use whole wheat flour for a slightly denser, healthier version.
