This easy-to-make flatbread speckled with Oreo cookies is perfect for a snack or dessert. I cheated and enjoyed mine for breakfast.
We take turns hosting each month and choosing the theme/ingredient. Kelly of Passion Kneaded is hosting this month and invited us all to explore the "diverse and delicious realm of flatbreads".
I am the host of a group called Alphabet Challenge. Every other Wednesday, bloggers join me to share a recipe that starts with/or features an ingredient that starts with the given letter of the alphabet.
One of the members, Radha of Magical Ingredients, added a personal challenge to the group challenge and has been sharing Paratha recipes each time that include an ingredient with the featured letter.
I have so enjoyed reading her posts and her recipes. When we reached the letter O, Radha shared a recipe for Oreo Paratha. I immediately printed that recipe because I knew my family would love it.
When Kelly announced the theme of this month's Bread Bakers, I was excited to be able to recreate Radha's recipe and share it here with you. I followed Radha's recipe but halved the ingredients to only make 4 servings. I used butter instead of ghee.
Let's take a look at what flatbreads the others are sharing today.....
- Eggless Keto Naan from Sneha's Recipes
- Focaccia Bread Art from Passion Kneaded
- Magical Oreo Paratha from A Day in the Life on the Farm
- Nan-e-Barbari from Ambrosia
- Rosemary Onion Socca - Chickpea Flatbread from Food Lust People Love
- Sourdough Pizza Bianca from Karen's Kitchen Stories
My original plan was to serve these for dessert with a scoop of ice cream sprinkled with Oreo crumbs but they were getting eaten as fast as I could cook them so I gave up and we had them for breakfast instead.
Yield: 4 pieces
Magical Oreo Paratha
This easy-to-make flatbread speckled with Oreo cookies is perfect for a snack or dessert. I cheated and enjoyed mine for breakfast.
Prep time: 15 MinCook time: 10 MinInactive time: 15 MinTotal time: 40 Min
Ingredients
- 1 c. whole wheat flour
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 c. water
- 3 T. melted butter, divided
- 10 Oreo cookies
- 2 T. cream cheese
Instructions
- Place the flour and salt into a bowl. Add the water and 1/2 Tablespoon of the butter and knead until a soft dough is formed. I used my KitchenAid. Let rest for 15 minutes.
- Place the cookies in a food processor and pulse until crumbled. Add the cream cheese and a 1/2 Tablespoon of the butter. Pulse until a paste is formed.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and press into a disc. Divide the oreo paste into 4 equal pieces and place onto each disc. Fold the dough over the paste to enclose it. Place onto a lightly floured surface, seam side down and roll into a round with a rolling pin.
- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Brush the bottom with some of the remaining melted butter and place a piece of Paratha into the hot pan. Cook until the paratha puffs and turns brown in spots, a minute or two, then flip and cook the other side. Repeat with all 4 pieces.

I love that your family were eating them as fast as you could cook them, Wendy. That is the sign of an excellent paratha!
