This cheesy pull apart flatbread is warm, soft, and filled with melty cheese. Made from a simple yeast dough and cooked on a skillet, each piece pulls apart easily for a comforting, bakery-style experience at home.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 flatbreads

Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • ½ teaspoon coarse salt

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add salt and olive oil, then gradually mix in flour to form a soft dough.
  3. Knead for 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until tripled in size.
  4. Divide dough into 6 equal pieces. Flatten each piece, place cheese in the center, and roll into a tube. Twist into a spiral and flatten into a 4–5 inch disk.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook each flatbread 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
  6. Brush cooked flatbreads with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse salt. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use different cheeses or seasonings for variety.
  • Make the dough a day ahead and refrigerate for slow rising.
  • Freeze dough after first rise if needed.
