With no special equipment required, this dish is not only accessible but also incredibly flavorful. Let’s dive into the recipe that’s been taking the world by storm!
Ingredients
For the Dough:
300 grams of flour (approximately 2 cups)
1 teaspoon salt (5 grams)
1 teaspoon baking powder (5 grams)
200 milliliters warm water (about 4/5 cup)
For the Toppings:
150 grams spring onions, finely chopped
150 grams hard cheese of your choice, grated
100 grams unsalted butter (1/3 cup), melted
Sesame seeds (for sprinkling)
Black pepper (to taste)
For Cooking:
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough:
Mix the Dry Ingredients: Start by sifting together 300 grams of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder in a large mixing bowl. Sifting helps to evenly distribute the baking powder and salt throughout the flour.
Add Warm Water: Gradually pour 200 milliliters of warm water into the flour mixture while stirring continuously. The warm water will help activate the baking powder, giving the flatbread a light, fluffy texture.
Knead the Dough: Once the dough starts to come together, knead it by hand for about 2 minutes until it’s smooth and medium-soft. The dough should be pliable but not sticky. If it feels too dry, add a little more water; if too sticky, add a bit more flour.
Rest the Dough: Cover the dough with a clean cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. This resting period allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll out later.
2. Prepare the Toppings:
Chop the Spring Onions: Finely chop 150 grams of spring onions. These will add a fresh, slightly sharp flavor that pairs beautifully with the cheese.
Grate the Cheese: Grate 150 grams of hard cheese of your choice. Whether you opt for cheddar, Gouda, or Parmesan, the cheese will melt into gooey perfection when cooked.
Melt the Butter: In a small saucepan or microwave, melt 100 grams of unsalted butter. This will be brushed over the dough to add richness and help the toppings adhere.
