Step 2: Divide and Roll
- After resting, divide the dough into 4–6 equal portions, depending on how large you want your flatbreads.
- On a floured surface, roll each portion into a thin circle or oval about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 3: Add the Cheese
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over half of each rolled-out dough piece.
- Add optional spices like garlic powder, herbs, or chili flakes to enhance the flavor.
- Fold the dough over the cheese to form a semi-circle or simply press the edges together to seal it like a pocket.
Step 4: Cook the Flatbread
Stovetop Method (Quickest):
- Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat.
- Place one flatbread in the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Repeat with the remaining flatbreads.
Oven Method (Crispier):
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
- Place flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush lightly with melted butter or olive oil for extra crispiness.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
Step 5: Serve
- Let the flatbreads cool slightly, then cut them into halves or wedges.
- Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or alongside soups and salads.
- Optional: drizzle a little garlic butter or sprinkle fresh herbs on top for extra flavor.
Tips for Perfect Flatbread
- Cheese Choice: Cheddar melts well, but you can mix it with mozzarella for a gooier texture.
- Thickness: Rolling the dough too thin may cause the cheese to leak; too thick will make it chewy. Aim for about 1/4 inch.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 1–2 days. Reheat in a skillet for best results.
