The bottom two flatbreads are whole, light golden-brown in color with a soft, slightly puffy texture and drizzled with a green herb sauce. On top are two halves of a flatbread with thick layers, showing the inside filled with crumbly white cheese mixed with chopped green herbs, contrasting with the golden-browned cooked dough edges.

Ingredients

200g self-raising flour
170g Greek yoghurt
100g feta, crushed
2 tbsp cream cheese
Handful of mint leaves, finely chopped
100g spinach, wilted with boiling water, squeezed and roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp mint sauce
1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the self-raising flour and Greek yoghurt. Mix with chopsticks or your hands, then knead for 5 minutes until you achieve a soft, bouncy dough. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour. Cover with cling film and set aside to rest while preparing the filling.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, combine the crushed feta, cream cheese, finely chopped mint leaves, wilted and squeezed spinach, minced garlic, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly, making sure all excess water is removed from the spinach.
Step 3: Once the dough has rested, knead it briefly for 30 seconds and divide it into 4 equal pieces.
Step 4: Take one piece of dough and flatten it gently with your fingers until it’s about 3/4 inch thick. Place a heaping tablespoon of the filling in the center. Bring all the edges of the dough together over the filling and pinch to seal the parcel. Turn it over onto the seam side down and press gently to flatten the flatbread to about 1/2 inch thickness. Sprinkle with a little flour and repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Step 5: Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat without adding oil.
Step 6: Cook the flatbreads for 3-5 minutes on each side, flipping once they turn golden brown. Watch closely to avoid burning.
Step 7: Mix the mint sauce and olive oil in a small bowl to create a dipping sauce.
Step 8: Serve the flatbreads warm or at room temperature with the mint sauce on the side. Enjoy!

Tips & Variations

For extra warmth, add a pinch of chili flakes to the filling mixture.
Swap spinach for kale or chard if you prefer a different green.
Use plain yogurt if Greek yogurt is not available, though the dough might be slightly less thick.
Brush the cooked flatbreads lightly with melted butter or garlic butter for more flavor.

Storage

Store leftover flatbreads in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan over low heat or in a warm oven to keep them soft. These flatbreads are best enjoyed fresh but can also be frozen before cooking—just thaw and cook as usual when ready.

How to Serve

Each piece is pale beige with some golden toasted spots on the top layer. A thick, vibrant green sauce with visible herb bits is generously poured over the top bread, dripping down the sides of all layers and pooling slightly at the base. The background shows a white marbled texture surface beneath the cutting board. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the dough and store it covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before using. Let it come to room temperature before shaping and filling.

Can I bake the flatbreads instead of frying?

While frying gives the flatbreads a crispy golden crust, you can bake them at 200°C (400°F) for about 12-15 minutes or until golden and cooked through. This method is great if you’re making a larger batch.
