Ingredients:
- Salt: 1 teaspoon (5 grams)
- Water: 300 milliliters (approximately 1 and 1/5 cups)
- Flour: 420 grams (approximately 2 2/3 cups), plus 1 extra tablespoon
- Cheddar Cheese: 100 grams (approximately 1 cup), shredded
- Butter: 100 grams (approximately 1/2 cup), melted
Preparation:
Make the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together salt and water. Gradually add flour, stirring until combined. Transfer to a floured surface and knead until smooth. Add extra flour if sticky. Rest for 15 minutes.
Prepare Cheese and Butter: Shred cheddar cheese and melt butter while dough rests.
Shape Flatbread: Divide dough into 4 equal parts. Shape into balls, then flatten into thin ovals. Brush with melted butter. Cut each oval into 4 strips (keeping one side connected). Place cheese in the center of each strip. Roll tightly from the uncut edge to form logs. Chill for 15 minutes.
Cook Flatbread: Flatten logs into 24 cm (9.5 inch) circles. Heat a 26 cm (10 inch) pan over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and puffed.
Serving Suggestions: Serve hot with marinara sauce, salsa, soup, or salad. Use as a pizza base or enjoy with honey for a sweet-savory twist.
Cooking Tips: Knead dough thoroughly for smoothness. Chilling logs ensures even shaping. Flip frequently to avoid burning. Experiment with cheeses or herbs for variety.
