Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 tsp salt. Gradually add 3/4 cup warm water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Step 2: In a small bowl, mix 6 oz crumbled goat cheese, 2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano, 1 tbsp chopped fresh mint, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until well combined.
- Step 3: Divide the dough into 6 equal balls. Roll each ball into a 6-inch circle on a lightly floured surface.
- Step 4: Spoon about 2 tbsp of the cheese-herb mixture onto one half of each circle, spreading evenly but leaving a 1/2 inch border. Fold over to form a semi-circle and press edges firmly to seal.
- Step 5: Heat 3 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook each stuffed flatbread for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
- Step 6: Serve warm with a drizzle of olive oil or a side salad.
