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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Optional:
- Brush the warm flatbread with melted butter for extra flavor.
- Sprinkle with fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme for a fragrant touch.
- Serve:
- Cut into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy as a snack or alongside your favorite dipping sauce!
