Preparation time:
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 16-20 minutes
Rest Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
Salt: 1 teaspoon (5 grams)
Water: 300 milliliters (about 1 1/5 cups)
Flour: 420 grams (about 2 2/3 cups), plus 1 additional tablespoon
Cheddar Cheese: 100 grams (about 1 cup), grated
Butter: 100 grams (about 1/2 cup), melted
Instructions:
Make the dough:
In a large bowl, dissolve the salt in the water, stirring with a whisk.
Gradually add the flour, stirring with a spoon until the mixture begins to come together.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead by hand. If the dough is too sticky, add an additional tablespoon of flour and continue kneading until smooth.
Let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
Prepare the cheese and butter:
While the dough rests, grate the cheddar cheese and melt the butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave.
Shape the flatbread:
Divide the rested dough into four equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a ball, then roll each ball out into a thin oval.
Brush each oval with melted butter.
Cut each oval into 4 strips, leaving one edge attached (like the veins of a leaf).
Sprinkle grated cheese in the center of each strip.
Starting at the uncut edge, tightly roll the strips to form a log.
Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Chill and final roll:
Place the rolled logs in the refrigerator for another 15 minutes to firm up.
After cooling, roll each log out into a flat circle about 24 centimeters (9.5 inches) in diameter.
Bake the flatbread:
Heat a dry skillet (26 centimeters or 10 inches in diameter) over medium heat.
Cook each flatbread for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until golden brown and puffed.
Serving suggestions:
Serve warm with a side of marinara sauce or salsa.
Pair with soup or a hearty salad for a complete meal.
Use as a base for flatbread pizzas with your favorite toppings.
Enjoy as a snack with a drizzle of honey for a sweet and savory touch.
Cooking tips:
Ensure the dough is kneaded well to create a smooth texture.
Chilling the rolled logs helps roll out uniform circles.
Turn the flatbreads frequently during baking to prevent burning and ensure even browning.
Experiment with different cheeses or herbs for a unique flavor profile.
Nutritional Benefits:
Cheddar cheese is a good source of calcium, which is beneficial for bone health.
Butter adds a rich flavor and offers fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K.
This flatbread offers a balanced blend of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
