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

  1. Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, combine the self-raising flour and Greek yoghurt. Mix with chopsticks or your hands to start bringing the dough together, then knead for about 5 minutes until you achieve a bouncy and soft dough. If the dough feels too sticky, gradually add more flour. Cover the dough with cling film and set it aside to rest while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the filling: In a separate bowl, combine the crushed feta, cream cheese, finely chopped mint leaves, wilted and thoroughly squeezed spinach, minced garlic, and black pepper. Mix well, ensuring no excess water remains in the spinach to keep the filling from becoming soggy. Set aside.
  3. Divide the dough: After the dough has rested, knead it once more for about 30 seconds. Then, cut the dough into 4 equal-sized pieces.
  4. Assemble the flatbreads: Take one dough piece and flatten it lightly with your fingers until it’s approximately 3/4 inch thick. Place a large tablespoon of the feta filling in the center. Bring all the dough corners together around the filling to form a sealed parcel. Flip the parcel over so the seam is down and gently flatten it with your fingers to about 1/2 inch thickness. Lightly sprinkle with flour to prevent sticking and repeat for the remaining dough pieces.
  5. Heat the pan: Preheat a non-stick dry pan over medium to high heat until hot.
  6. Cook the flatbreads: Place the flatbreads gently into the dry pan and fry them for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until each side turns golden brown. Monitor closely and flip them once they develop a golden crust.
  7. Prepare the dipping sauce: While the flatbreads cook, combine the mint sauce and olive oil in a small bowl for serving.
  8. Serve and enjoy: Serve the flatbreads warm or at room temperature accompanied by the mint sauce. Enjoy the fresh, cheesy, and herby flavors!

Notes

  • Make sure to squeeze out as much water as possible from the spinach to prevent soggy filling.
  • If the dough becomes sticky while forming, dust your hands and the work surface with a little extra flour.
  • These flatbreads are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in a pan or oven for a few minutes.
  • You can substitute cream cheese with ricotta for a different texture.
  • Serve with a side salad or use as a wrap for grilled meats if desired.
