Shangi with Cheese

Ingredients

• Unleavened dough 20 oz
• Semi-soft cream cheese 10 oz
• Hard Cheese 5 oz

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Grate the hard cheese using a coarse grater.

Step 2

Place the soft cheese in a bowl and mash it well with a fork.

Step 3

Divide the dough into 6 portions. If you are using frozen dough, make sure to thaw it thoroughly at room temperature first.

Step 4

Then knead it again and let it rest for at least half an hour to rise once more.

Step 5

Roll each piece of dough into a small round patty.

Step 6

Transfer the flatbreads to a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Step 7

Spread the soft cheese filling over the flatbreads.

Step 8

Dampen your fingers with water and spread the cheese evenly over the surface of the flatbreads, leaving a 1 cm border from the edges.

Step 9

Sprinkle grated hard cheese on top of the flatbreads.

Step 10

Let the flatbreads rest at room temperature for 20 minutes to allow for a slight rise. This will make the dough softer after baking.

Step 11

While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 430°F. Place the tray with the shanghi in the oven. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.

Step 12

During baking, the edges of the dough should turn golden brown, and the top layer of cheese should melt. Once the shangi are ready, remove them from the oven, transfer them to a serving plate, and serve hot.
