Instructions

1 ✓

Mix flour and salt. Add oil and water, kneading for 5-8 minutes into a smooth, elastic ball. Add a dusting of flour if sticky.

Tip: Kneading ensures you can roll the dough paper-thin later without tearing.
2 ✓

Divide into 4 parts, form balls, coat lightly in oil, cover, and rest for 30 minutes.

Tip: Resting allows the gluten to relax.
3 ✓

Mix crumbled cheese with the beaten egg and chopped herbs.

Tip: Egg acts as a binder so the cheese stays creamy and doesn't just run out.
4 ✓

Roll dough on a floured surface into very thin 12-inch rounds. Spread filling on half, fold, and seal.

5 ✓

Cook in a hot, dry skillet for 3-4 minutes per side until spotted brown. Brush with butter while hot.

Recipe FAQ

Why does the dough shrink back?
The gluten is tense. Let it rest for another 10-15 minutes covered, and it will be easier to roll.
