Method
 

Step-by-Step Recipe
    Prepare the Dough
    1. Roll out the wheat dough into medium-sized flat discs, just like you would for roti or paratha.
    Stuff with Cheese
    1. Place a cheese slice (or grated cheese) in the center. Sprinkle chili flakes, oregano, salt, and black pepper evenly. Fold and seal the dough carefully so the cheese doesn’t leak out.
    Cook the Flatbread
    1. Heat a skillet. Cook the stuffed flatbread on both sides until golden brown, brushing lightly with oil or butter while cooking.
    Add the Flavorful Garlic Butter
    1. Mix butter with chopped garlic, green chili, sesame seeds, oregano, and chili flakes. Once the flatbread is cooked, brush this mixture generously on top for a restaurant-style finish.
    Serving Suggestions
    1. With Dips: Pair with ketchup, garlic mayo, cheesy dip, or herby mint chutney.
    2. With Soup or Salad: Serve as a side to tomato soup, mushroom soup, or fresh salads for a wholesome meal.
    3. Tea-Time Snack: Enjoy with a hot cup of tea, coffee, or even spiced hot chocolate.
    4. Party Starter: Cut into wedges and serve as an appetizer—it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
    5. Lunchbox Surprise: Pack it in a tiffin for a cheesy treat that kids (and adults!) will look forward to.
    Customization Ideas
    1. Spice Lovers: Add jalapeños, extra chili flakes, or peri-peri seasoning inside the filling.
    2. Veggie Boost: Add sautéed onions, corn, mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrition.
    3. Herb Touch: Mix in fresh herbs like coriander, basil, or parsley for a refreshing taste.
    4. Protein Twist: Add shredded chicken, paneer, or tofu along with the cheese for a heartier version.
    5. Healthier Option: Use whole wheat flour or multigrain flour, and swap in low-fat cheese.

    FAQs

    Q1. Can I use any type of cheese for this flatbread?
     Yes! Mozzarella is perfect for that stretchy cheese pull, cheddar gives a sharp flavor, and processed cheese melts quickly. You can even mix two or three cheeses for extra richness.
    Q2. Can I make this flatbread without butter?
     Definitely. You can replace butter with olive oil or ghee for a healthier twist, though butter gives that classic garlic-bread style flavor.
    Q3. How do I prevent cheese from leaking out while cooking?
     Seal the dough edges tightly and avoid overfilling. Also, cook on medium heat so the dough cooks evenly without the cheese bursting out.
    Q4. Is this recipe suitable for kids?
     Yes! Kids love cheesy snacks. For little ones, simply reduce or skip chili flakes and green chilies.
    Q5. Can I make this flatbread ahead of time?
     You can prepare and stuff the dough in advance, refrigerate it, and cook fresh when ready to serve. However, it tastes best hot off the pan.
