Cooking Time: 10-15 minutesPreperation Time: 45 minutes

Prepare the Dough

Begin by preparing the flatbread dough. Combine wheat flour, water, salt, and oil in a mixing bowl. Knead the mixture until it forms a smooth, elastic dough. Cover and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the Filling

While the dough rests, prepare your filling. Shred cheese (such as cheddar or mozzarella), and if using, cook your choice of meat (chicken or beef) until fully cooked. Also, prepare any vegetables (onions, peppers, mushrooms) by sautéing them lightly in a pan with a bit of oil until they're soft.

Assemble and Cook

Divide the dough into equal portions and roll out each piece into a thin circle. Place a portion of the cheese and your chosen fillings onto one half of each circle. Fold over the other half to cover the filling, pressing the edges to seal. Grill or pan-fry each stuffed flatbread on a preheated skillet over medium heat, flipping once, until both sides are golden brown and crispy.

Serve

Serve your stuffed flatbread hot, accompanied by your choice of dips or sauces. Enjoy the crispy exterior and the gooey, savory filling.
