Ingredients for the Dough
All-purpose flour – 2 cups
Warm water – ¾ cup
Instant yeast – 1 teaspoon
Olive oil – 2 tablespoons
Salt – 1 teaspoon
Sugar – 1 teaspoon
For the Stuffing (you can get creative with this!)
Ground beef or chicken – 1 cup
Onion – 1, finely chopped
Spinach – 1 cup (optional)
Cheese – ½ cup (mozzarella or cheddar works best!)
Spices – cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper (to taste)
Making the Dough
Start by mixing the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Slowly add the warm water and olive oil, stirring until the dough starts to come together. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes, until it’s smooth and elastic. Cover it with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
Preparing the Filling
In a pan, cook the ground meat with the chopped onion until it’s fully cooked and browned. If you’re using spinach, add it in during the last few minutes and cook until wilted. Mix in your spices, salt, and pepper. Let the filling cool slightly before adding cheese to it.
Assembling Your Flatbreads
Once the dough has risen, divide it into small balls. Roll each ball into a flat circle about 6 inches wide. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each dough circle, then fold the edges to seal it, forming a pocket.
Cooking the Flatbreads
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook each stuffed flatbread for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy. If you like, you can brush them with a little olive oil for extra flavor!
Tips to Make Them Even Better
- Feel free to mix and match the fillings. Add mushrooms, peppers, or even a bit of yogurt for creaminess.
- Serve them with a side of hummus, tzatziki, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
- Want them spicier? Add some chili flakes or hot sauce to the filling!
Stuffed flatbreads are the perfect dish to enjoy with friends and family. They’re easy to make, full of flavor, and incredibly satisfying. ❤️ The best part? You can make them your own with endless filling options!
