Ingredients:
For the Dough:

- 1 cup (240ml) warm milk or water
- 2 tbsp yogurt (optional, for extra softness)
- 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 ½ tsp instant yeast or baking powder
For the Filling (Choose One or Mix):
- 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, feta, or cheddar)
- ½ cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, or chives)
- 1 cup mashed potatoes (seasoned with salt, pepper, and butter)
- ½ cup cooked minced meat (seasoned with onions and spices)
For Cooking:
- 2 tbsp butter or oil for frying
- Fresh chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a bowl, mix warm milk/water with sugar and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add flour, salt, yogurt, and olive oil. Knead until smooth and soft (about 8-10 minutes).
- Cover and let it rest for 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Prepare the Filling:
- Mix your chosen filling ingredients together and season to taste.
- Assemble the Flatbreads:
- Divide the dough into equal portions. Roll each into a small circle.
- Place a spoonful of filling in the center, fold the dough over, and seal the edges. Flatten gently into a round shape.
- Cook the Flatbreads:
- Heat a pan over medium heat with a little butter or oil.
- Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Brush with melted butter, sprinkle fresh herbs, and serve warm!
Tips:
- Adjust the filling to your taste; try different cheeses, meats, or vegetables.
- If using baking powder instead of yeast, let the dough rest for only 15 minutes before cooking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in a pan or oven.
