Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine 240 grams of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well to ensure the salt is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
Even distribution of salt helps to enhance the flavor of the dough.
Add the Warm Milk:
Gradually pour in 150 milliliters of warm milk, stirring continuously until a dough forms. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
Warm milk helps in activating the gluten, making the dough easier to work with.
Knead the Dough:
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Kneading develops the gluten, which gives the dough its structure and elasticity.
Let the Dough Rest:
Place the dough back in the bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
Resting allows the dough to relax, making it easier to roll out later.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
Mix the Herbs and Cheese:
In a medium bowl, combine 150 grams of grated cheddar cheese, the chopped parsley, and dill. Mix well to ensure the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the cheese.
The combination of herbs adds freshness and a burst of flavor to the cheese filling.
Step 3: Assemble the Flatbreads
Divide the Dough:
After the dough has rested, divide it into equal-sized portions, depending on how large you want your flatbreads.
Dividing the dough evenly ensures consistent cooking.
Roll Out the Dough:
On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of dough into a thin circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Rolling the dough thinly ensures that the flatbread cooks evenly and quickly.
Add the Filling:
Place a generous amount of the cheese and herb mixture on one half of each dough circle. Fold the other half over the filling and press the edges together to seal.
Sealing the edges prevents the filling from leaking out during cooking.
Brush with Butter:
Lightly brush both sides of the filled flatbreads with the melted butter.
Brushing with butter gives the flatbreads a golden, crispy exterior.
