Step by Step: How to Prepare Stuffed Flatbread
1. Preparing the Dough: In a large bowl, mix the white and whole wheat flour. Add the salt, sugar, and yeast, mixing well. Make a well in the center and pour in the warm water and olive oil. Knead until you have an elastic dough that no longer sticks to your hands. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let the dough rest for 30 minutes in a warm place.
2. Rolling Out the Flatbreads: Once the dough has risen, divide it into two equal balls. On a floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll each ball into a very thin sheet. Make sure the flatbreads are evenly rolled out for even cooking.
3. Cooking the Flatbreads: Heat the pan over medium heat. Place the first flatbread in the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and slightly puffy. Repeat with the second flatbread. After cooking, place the flatbreads on a plate and cover them with a lightly damp towel to prevent drying out.
4. Preparing the Filling: While the flatbreads cool, prepare the filling. Slice the cabbage into thin strips and mix it with a little lemon juice, salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, mix some of the tzatziki sauce with the mustard to create a spicy and flavorful sauce.
5. Assembling the Flatbreads: On each flatbread, spread a generous layer of tzatziki sauce, then add the sliced boiled egg, grated cheese, olives, and pickled peppers. Top with the cabbage salad and, finally, another layer of tzatziki sauce with mustard.
6. Melting the Cheese (optional): If you want the cheese to be softer and melted, you can place the stuffed flatbreads in the microwave for a few seconds to achieve the desired consistency.
Serving
Stuffed flatbread is served warm, directly on the plate, and is perfect alongside a fresh salad or a serving of fries. You can accompany it with a glass of yogurt or a fruit smoothie for a complete meal.
