Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

  2. Place them in a bowl and lightly season with salt if desired.

Step 3: Assemble the Dough

  1. Once the dough has risen, transfer it to a floured surface.
  2. Roll it out with a rolling pin into a thin rectangle or circle.
  3. Spread the chopped vegetables evenly over half of the dough.
  4. Fold the dough over the filling, sealing the edges by pressing them together.

Step 4: Cook the Dough

  2. Place the filled dough in the hot skillet.
  3. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, flipping carefully, until golden brown and crisp.
  4. Transfer to a plate and let it cool slightly before slicing.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  • Cut into slices or squares and serve warm.
  • Enjoy as is or pair it with your favorite side dishes!

Serving Suggestions

  • With yogurt: A side of plain or garlic-flavored yogurt enhances the flavors.
  • With soup: Pair with a warm bowl of lentil or tomato soup for a complete meal.
  • With dipping sauces: Try tzatziki, marinara, or hummus for extra flavor.
  • As a sandwich: Add cheese or grilled chicken for a heartier version.

Cooking Tips

  • Well-kneaded dough creates a soft, elastic texture—don’t rush this step!
  • Let the yeast activate before adding flour to ensure a fluffy dough.
  • Roll the dough thinly for a crispier texture or thicker for a softer bite.
  • Use a non-stick skillet for even cooking without burning.

Variations

  • Cheesy Version: Add shredded mozzarella or feta cheese to the vegetable filling.
  • Spicy Twist: Sprinkle red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeños for some heat.
  • Mediterranean Style: Add black olives, sun-dried tomatoes, or fresh basil.
  • Protein Boost: Include cooked ground meat, shredded chicken, or tofu.
