Milk Flatbreads with Cheese and Herbs are a quick and delicious snack or side dish, perfect for pairing with soups, salads, or just enjoying on their own. These flatbreads are soft, flavorful, and can be made in a frying pan for a quick preparation.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup milk (warm)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (such as parsley, dill, or chives), finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for frying)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Gradually add the warm milk and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 3-5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough with a clean towel and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
2. Prepare the Filling:
- In a small bowl, mix the shredded cheese and chopped herbs together. Set aside.
3. Shape the Flatbreads:
- Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a small circle, about 1/4-inch thick.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of the cheese and herb mixture onto one half of the rolled-out dough.
- Fold the other half over the filling to create a semi-circle. Press the edges together to seal the flatbread.
- Gently roll out the filled flatbread to flatten it slightly, being careful not to let the filling escape.
4. Cook the Flatbreads:
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a little olive oil or butter.
- Place the flatbread in the hot pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining flatbreads, adding more oil or butter to the pan as needed.
5. Serve:
- Serve the flatbreads warm, either plain or with a side of dipping sauce like yogurt or sour cream.
Tips:
- Herb Variations: You can use any herbs you like, or even add a pinch of garlic powder or chili flakes for extra flavor.
- Cheese Choice: Feel free to experiment with different cheeses, or even mix a few together for a richer flavor.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the dough and filling ahead of time and store them separately in the fridge. Assemble and cook the flatbreads just before serving.
These Milk Flatbreads with Cheese and Herbs are a delightful and versatile addition to any meal, easy to whip up on a busy day or as a delicious treat for guests!
