Flatbread with garlic and cheese

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 520 g wheat flour
• 21 g yeast (fresh)
• 375 ml water (lukewarm)
• 1 ¼ tsp salt
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 180 g Cheddar cheese, grated
• 4 clove(s) garlic, chopped
• 2 tbsp olive oil, for the baking dish
• Herbs, as desired

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 15 minutes

Dust a 34×24 cm baking pan with flour and spread 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the bottom. Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. You can use 4-8 cloves, depending on your taste. You can also use any grated cheese you like. I particularly like sharp cheddar cheese in this flatbread. Put the flour in a bowl and make a well in the center. Put the yeast in a small bowl and mix it with a little of the lukewarm water. Then pour this into the center of the well and lightly stir it into the flour with your finger. Add the salt, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, the cheese, garlic, and water and knead everything briefly. The dough will be a bit sticky; please do not add any more flour. Then pour it into the pan so that it is evenly distributed. Cover the pan and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour. It should have increased in volume considerably. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Sprinkle the dough with herbs, if desired, and bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes. It should be golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then remove from the pan and let cool on a wire rack. The bread tastes great both warm and cold.
