I found some steak in the fridge and used it as a filling—it’s simple and quick to prepare. These pancakes taste just like beef pizza, with a Chinese twist on a Western dish! A delicious Beef and Cheese Yeast Flatbread — Pan-Fried & Air-Fried, Two Ways from One Dough! recipe.
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| beef steak | 1 as needed |
| green bell pepper | 1 as needed |
| onion | ½ |
| all-purpose flour | 300 as needed |
| mozzarella cheese | to taste |

Let the dough ferment for a while, then refrigerate overnight.

The next morning it looks like this — nicely risen.

Take a portion of dough and roll it out like this. Don’t roll too thin or it’ll be hard to fill.

Sear the steak briefly, then stir-fry the vegetables together. Season with black pepper and sea salt.

Spread the filling on the dough, then gather it up like folding a bun.

Pinch the edges sealed.

Gently roll it out a bit.

Spray oil on the pan and on top of the flatbread. Cook over medium-low heat with the lid on. Keep an eye on it — don’t let it burn. It only takes a minute or two before you can flip it.

Flip a few times and it’s basically done!

It’s crispy right out of the pan. For extra crispiness use more oil; I used less to keep it lighter. The flatbread will soften as it sits.

I also made a smaller one brushed with egg wash. This one went in the air fryer at 185°C for about 10+ minutes — adjust to your air fryer’s temperament. Mine doesn’t quite get there at 180°C. It comes out like a pizza, just with the filling inside instead of on top!

Pan-fried flatbread and air-fried baked bread — a Chinese-style pizza!

Had this for breakfast and wasn’t hungry all day. This used half the dough; the other half made some fava bean and turmeric flower rolls.

Those flower rolls were delicious too — I’ll share that process separately!
