Sift the flour into a bowl. Add the salt, sugar, and dried garlic (if using). Pour in the hot water (80 °C) and olive oil. First mix with a spatula or spoon, then knead by hand for about 10 minutes. The dough should be soft, elastic, and slightly sticky to the hands (if it's too wet, add a little more flour). Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 1-2 hours.
Divide the dough into 5 equal parts (about 110 g each) and roll into balls. Lightly flour the work surface and roll each ball into a circle about 15 cm in diameter and 1 cm thick. Place cheese (about 66 g) in the center. Pinch the edges together from bottom to top to enclose the cheese, forming a ball. Gently roll out this filled ball into a flatbread about 20 cm in diameter (lightly flouring to prevent sticking).
Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil. Fry each flatbread for 2 minutes on one side, then 2 minutes on the other (total 4 minutes per flatbread). Repeat with the remaining ones.
As soon as a flatbread is ready, place it on a plate and brush it with the melted butter mixed with garlic and cilantro.
