Cheddar Cheese Flatbread Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 2 tbsp olive oil (plus extra for brushing)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
- Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add warm water and olive oil, stirring until a rough dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes.
- Roll Out the Dough:
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
- Roll each portion into a flat, round shape about 1/4 inch thick.
- Preheat the Pan:
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the surface with a bit of olive oil.
- Cook the Flatbreads:
- Place one of the rolled-out dough rounds onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes on one side, until bubbles start to form and the bottom is golden brown.
- Flip the flatbread over and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Add the Cheddar Cheese:
- Sprinkle a portion of the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the flatbread.
- If using garlic, sprinkle the minced garlic over the cheese.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low, allowing the cheese to melt.
- Finish and Serve:
- Once the cheese has melted and the flatbread is golden and crispy, remove it from the skillet.
- If desired, brush the top with a little olive oil and sprinkle with fresh herbs.
- Repeat with the remaining dough portions.
- Serve:
- Serve the cheddar cheese flatbreads warm, either whole or sliced into wedges.
