Cheese Flatbread Recipe

Flatbread Preparation

1. 1

   Activate Yeast

   In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

2. 2

   Mix Dough

   In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center, add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

3. 3

   Knead Dough

   Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

4. 4

   Let Dough Rise

   Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

5. 5

   Preheat Oven

   Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).

6. 6

   Shape Flatbreads

   Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a flat circle, about 1/4 inch thick.

7. 7

   Add Cheese Toppings

   Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet. Top with your choice of shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or feta) and any additional toppings like herbs or olives.

8. 8

   Bake Flatbreads

   Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the cheese is bubbly.
