Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Grate the carrot directly into the bowl and mix until evenly combined.
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough starts to form. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth. Cover the dough with a clean towel and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
In a small bowl, mix together the shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, chopped herbs, black pepper, and dried oregano. This will be the cheesy filling for your flatbreads.
Step 3: Roll Out the Flatbreads
After resting, divide the dough into 6-8 equal pieces. Lightly flour your surface and rolling pin, and roll each piece of dough into a thin oval or round flatbread—about 1/8 inch thick.
Step 4: Add the Filling
Place a portion of the cheese and herb mixture in the center of each flatbread. Carefully fold the dough over the filling and press the edges together to seal it.
Step 5: Cook the Flatbreads
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter. Place one flatbread in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and slightly crispy. Repeat with the remaining flatbreads, adding more oil as needed.
Step 6: Serve
Once cooked, transfer the flatbreads to a plate and serve warm. These Cheesy Carrot Flatbreads are delicious on their own or paired with a creamy dip, yogurt, or a light salad on the side.
