Vegetable Stuffed Flatbreads

1. Dough Preparation
Begin by combining warm water, sugar, and instant yeast in a large mixing bowl. Stir the mixture and allow it to sit for approximately 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.

Add the all-purpose flour, salt, and olive oil (or melted butter) to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough begins to form.

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Gently incorporate the finely diced vegetables (along with the optional cheese or herbs, if desired) into the dough, ensuring an even distribution throughout.

2. Dough Rising
Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm environment for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

3. Shaping the Flatbreads
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release any trapped air. Divide the dough into equal portions (8-10 pieces, depending on your preferred size).

Shape each portion into a ball, then use a rolling pin or your hands to flatten each ball into a disc about 1/4 inch thick.

4. Cooking the Flatbreads
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter.

Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and puffed up. Adjust the heat as necessary to ensure even cooking without burning.

5. Serving Suggestions
Serve the vegetable-stuffed flatbreads warm. They can be enjoyed on their own, with a dipping sauce, or as an accompaniment to soups and salads.

These versatile flatbreads can be easily customized with your preferred vegetables, herbs, or cheese, making them a delightful addition to any snack, appetizer, or meal. Should you need more recipes or have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out!
