Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 200g self-raising flour
- 170g Greek yoghurt
Filling
- 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
To Serve
- 1 tbsp mint sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Make the dough: In a large bowl, combine the self-raising flour and Greek yoghurt. Mix using chopsticks or your hands until combined, then knead the dough for 5 minutes until it becomes soft and bouncy. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. Cover with cling film and set aside while preparing the filling.
- Prepare the filling: In another bowl, mix together the crushed feta, cream cheese, chopped mint leaves, wilted and squeezed spinach, minced garlic, and black pepper. Ensure all excess water from the spinach is removed before combining. Set aside.
- Divide the dough: Once the dough has rested, knead it briefly again for about 30 seconds. Slice the dough into 4 equal-sized pieces.
- Assemble the flatbreads: Take one dough piece and flatten it gently with your fingers to approximately 3/4 inch thickness. Place a large tablespoon of the filling in the center. Bring all corners of the dough up and around the filling, sealing it to form a parcel. Turn the parcel over with the sealed side down and press gently with your fingers until it flattens to about 1/2 inch thick. Lightly dust with flour and repeat for the remaining pieces.
- Heat the pan: Place a non-stick dry frying pan over medium to high heat, allowing it to warm thoroughly.
- Cook the flatbreads: Place the prepared flatbreads gently into the hot pan. Fry each side for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. Watch carefully and flip when golden to avoid burning.
- Prepare the dipping sauce: While cooking, mix the mint sauce and olive oil together in a small bowl to serve alongside the flatbreads.
- Serve: Serve the flatbreads warm or at room temperature with the mint sauce for dipping. Enjoy their cheesy, herby flavor and soft, crispy texture!
Notes
- If dough is too sticky, add flour a tablespoon at a time until manageable.
- Make sure to squeeze out excess water from spinach to avoid soggy filling.
- Use medium to high heat on the stove to ensure flatbreads cook through and develop a nice golden crust.
- Mint sauce can be substituted with plain yogurt mixed with chopped mint for a milder dip.
- Flatbreads are best eaten fresh but can be reheated in a pan or oven.
