Beijing Scallion Flatbread

Beijing Scallion Flatbread is a delightful dairy-free Chinese pizza, featuring a crispy exterior and a savory filling of fresh scallions. Perfect for a quick meal or snack, this flatbread combines simple ingredients for a burst of flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Warm water - 100 ml
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons
• Scallions - 100 grams, finely chopped
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Black sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon (optional)

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the warm water, stirring until a dough forms.
2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, mix the chopped scallions with sesame oil and black sesame seeds, if using.
4. Divide the rested dough into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle about 20 cm in diameter.
5. Spread 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over each circle, then sprinkle the scallion mixture evenly on top.
6. Roll each circle into a log, then coil it into a spiral shape. Flatten the spiral gently with your hands.
7. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little vegetable oil. Cook each flatbread for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
8. Remove from the skillet and cut into wedges. Serve warm.
