Recipe for Flatbread with Cheddar Cheese

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 3/4 cup warm water (adjust as needed)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tbsp melted butter (optional, for brushing)
• Fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
   • Add olive oil and warm water. Stir to combine and form a dough.
   • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
   • Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
2. Roll Out the Dough:
   • After resting, divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
   • Roll each portion into a thin circle, about 1/8 inch thick.
3. Cook the Flatbread:
   • Heat a large skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
   • Place the rolled-out dough onto the dry skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes, until bubbles start forming on the surface.
   • Flip the flatbread over and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes more until golden brown.
4. Add Cheddar Cheese:
   • While the second side is cooking, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the flatbread.
   • Once both sides are golden and the cheese has melted, remove from the skillet.
5. Optional:
   • Brush the warm flatbread with melted butter for extra flavor.
   • Sprinkle with fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for a fragrant touch.
6. Serve:
   • Cut into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy as a snack or alongside your favorite dipping sauce!
