Step-by-Step Master Instructions
Creating the Perfect Stuffed Flatbread
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine:
- Flour
- Salt
- Baking powder
- Garlic powder (if using)
Add grated carrots, warm water, olive oil, and yogurt.
Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead on floured surface for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Adjust consistency:
- Too sticky → add flour
- Too dry → add small splash of water
Cover and rest 20–30 minutes.
Resting relaxes gluten for easier rolling.
Step 2: Prepare the Cheese Filling
In small bowl, mix:
- Mozzarella
- Parmesan
- Cream cheese (if using)
Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Set aside.
Step 3: Shape the Flatbreads
Divide dough into 4–6 equal balls.
