750g wheat flour (6 cups)
1 teaspoon salt
600ml water (2½ cups)
200ml melted butter (1 cup)
Vegetable oil, as needed (for brushing between layers)
For the Filling:

1 bunch green onions, finely chopped
6-7 boiled eggs, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions:

Prepare the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the wheat flour and salt.
Gradually add the water while mixing with your hands or a wooden spoon until the dough begins to come together.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes to relax the gluten, making it easier to work with.

While the dough is resting, finely chop the green onions and boiled eggs.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped green onions and eggs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Set the filling aside until the dough is ready.
Roll and Layer the Dough:
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
On a floured surface, roll out one dough ball into a thin, large circle or rectangle.
Brush the surface generously with melted butter and a small amount of vegetable oil. This will help create the flaky layers in the flatbread.
Add the Filling:
Sprinkle a portion of the egg and green onion filling evenly over the buttered dough.
Fold the dough over the filling, encasing it, and form a square or rectangular pocket. Seal the edges to prevent the filling from spilling out.
Cook the Flatbread:
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly brush with vegetable oil.
Place each pocket of dough on the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Repeat with the remaining dough portions.
Serve:
Serve warm and enjoy the delicious, flaky green onion and egg-filled flatbreads!
Serving Suggestions:

Serve with a side of yogurt or sour cream for dipping.
Pair with a fresh salad or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
Enjoy as a light breakfast or snack with tea.
Serve with a drizzle of tahini or hot sauce for extra flavor.
Pair with a warm soup for a hearty lunch or dinner.
Cooking Tips:

Make sure to rest the dough for at least 30 minutes to ensure it’s easy to roll and shape.
Use a generous amount of butter between the layers of dough to create a flaky texture.
Be sure to seal the dough well around the filling to prevent the filling from spilling out while cooking.
If the dough gets too sticky while rolling, sprinkle a bit more flour on the surface.
