Shanghai Scallion Flatbread

Shanghai Scallion Flatbread is a delightful gluten-free twist on traditional Chinese pizza, featuring a crispy exterior and a savory, aromatic filling of scallions. This dish is perfect for sharing and showcases the bold flavors of Chinese cuisine in every bite.

Ingredients

• Gluten-free flour - 200 grams
• Warm water - 120 ml
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Scallions (green onions) - 100 grams, finely chopped
• Sesame oil - 2 tablespoons
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons (for frying)
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour and salt. Gradually add warm water while stirring until a dough forms.
2. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
3. In a small bowl, mix the chopped scallions, sesame oil, and black pepper.
4. Divide the rested dough into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle (about 20 cm in diameter).
5. Spread half of the scallion mixture evenly over each dough circle, then fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape, sealing the edges.
6. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the folded flatbreads in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
7. Remove from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before slicing into wedges. Serve warm.
