Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Water lukewarm
- 2 tsp Yeast
- 2 tsp Sugar
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Avocado oil
- 3/4 cup Mozzarella cheese shredded
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it stand until bubbles form and it becomes fragrant, about 5-10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Pour in the frothy yeast mixture along with the avocado oil.
- Stir with a spoon to make a rough dough. Turn onto a floured surface, knead for 10 minutes, feeling the dough become smooth and elastic.
- Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours until it's doubled in size.
- Gently deflate the dough, divide into 8 portions, and shape into balls. Rest covered for 5-10 minutes to prevent drying.
- Roll each ball into a small circle. Place cheese in the center, fold the edges over, and seal. Roll again into a disc.
- Let the discs rest on a lined tray for 20 minutes. Heat a skillet with a brush of oil, wiping excess with a tissue.
- Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and puffy. Brush with a touch of melted butter, if desired.
