I just love the taste of cheese together with herbs & garlic...
Would you like garlic or herb bread with your meal, the wait staff ask...well can I have both? And throw in some sstttrrreeeetchyyyyy cheese for good measure!
So here it is, my version of flatbread stuffed with cheese, garlic & herbs. Also only 30 mins start to finish! I have said the recipe serves 4, and this assumes one 14cm or 5 ½ inch round per person - if you wanted to serve 8 you could just go half a round per person.
Hope you enjoy them - we did at our house!

📖 Recipe
Cheesy Garlic Flatbread with Herbs
Ingredients
- 1 cup Self Raising flour - sifted
- ¾ cup / 170g low fat greek yoghurt
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 ¼ cups/ 140g shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 garlic clove crushed/minced
- 1 tbsp. fresh oregano leaves roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- ¼ cup flat leaf parsley roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp. melted butter
- 2 pinches fine salt
Instructions
- In a medium bowl combine yoghurt and oil, mix to incorporate fully.
- Add SR flour and a pinch of salt to the yoghurt and mix to combine (see notes).
- Turn on to a lightly floured board/surface and knead lightly to make a smooth ball.
- Divide dough ball in half, then divide each ball in half again, then divide those 4 balls in half again - you will end up with 8 even size balls (see notes).
- Roll out each ball of dough into 14cm or 5 ½ inch rounds (see notes).
- Mix together grated cheese, herbs, garlic & remaining pinch of salt until thoroughly combined - I use my hands for this so I can distribute the garlic evenly throughout the grated cheese.
- Take one round of dough & lightly moisten 1 ½ cm or ½ inch around the edge of the round with water using a pastry bush or your finger.
- Place ¼ of the cheese mixture in an even layer in the centre of the round of dough, stopping at the moistened edge.
- Place another dough round on top and join together starting at one side, pushing out any air pockets as you go, pressing the edges to seal (see notes).
- Repeat to make 4 completed rounds.
- Heat a large non-stick fry pan over medium low heat.
- Brush one side of each flatbread round with melted butter and fry butter side down for 3 minutes, meanwhile brushing the second side with melted butter and then turn over and fry for another 3 minutes.
- Serve immediately.

These were sensational! Super easy. Made them with my 10 year old after school and she loved them!
Only thing I changed was I put minced (jar) garlic in the actual dough and used a little less cheese in the filling - but they were perfect. thank you

This recipe is awful. Everything went well until I started assembling the pastry. It just fell apart and was impossible to cook. When I tried to flip it it just crumbled. I took it out of the pan and tried frying little balls, which just ended up not cooking. Then I baked it and it didn't rise at all. Waste of my food , and my time. Not to mention it got EVERYWHERE! Definitely would not recommend this recipe, it makes me angry..
