Stuffed Flatbread with Cheese

Here’s a simple recipe for stuffed flatbread with cheese, often known as cheese-filled naan or cheese paratha. Enjoy!

Ingredients

For the Dough:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon oil (optional)
• Water (as needed)

For the Filling:

• 1 cup cheese (such as mozzarella, feta, or a mix)
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley, optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional)

For Cooking:

• Ghee or oil for frying

Instructions

1. Make the Dough:
   • In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the oil if using.
   • Gradually add water and knead until you have a smooth, pliable dough. Cover and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a bowl, mix the cheese, herbs, and black pepper (if using). Set aside.
3. Assemble the Flatbreads:
   • Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball).
   • Roll out each ball into a small circle (about 4-5 inches in diameter).
   • Place a spoonful of the cheese filling in the center.
   • Fold the edges over the filling to seal it, then flatten it gently.
   • Roll it out again into a larger circle (about 6-8 inches), being careful not to let the filling escape.
4. Cook the Flatbreads:
   • Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add a little ghee or oil.
   • Cook each flatbread for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. You can press down lightly with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
5. Serve:
   • Serve hot with yogurt, chutney, or your favorite dipping sauce.
