Combine flour, water, oil, and salt to make a smooth dough. Let it rest for 15–20 minutes.

2

Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each piece thinly on a lightly floured surface.

3

Spread about 3-4 tbsp of the filling on one half of each dough sheet. Fold the dough into a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges to seal.

4

Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook each qutab for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.

5

Brush the hot qutabs with butter, and serve immediately.
