Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- Butter or ghee for brushing
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and baking powder. Add warm water and olive oil, then knead into a smooth dough. Cover and rest for 10 minutes.
- Divide dough into 4 equal balls. On a floured surface, roll each ball into a 6-inch circle.
- Place 1/4 cup of shredded cheese (and cilantro if using) on one half of each circle, leaving a small border. Fold the other half over to form a half-moon, pressing edges to seal.
- Roll each stuffed flatbread gently to about 1/4-inch thickness.
- Heat a skillet or tawa over medium-high heat. Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
- Brush with butter or ghee and serve hot.
Tips
- For extra flavor, add minced garlic or chili flakes to the dough.
- Serve with yogurt dip or chutney.
- Can be made ahead and reheated in a dry skillet.
