🍽️ Servings
6 flatbreads
🥣 Ingredients
For the Dough
300 ml warm water (1½ cups)
1 teaspoon salt (7 g)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon instant yeast (7 g)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
500 g all-purpose flour (about 4 cups)
For the Filling
2 cups fresh spinach, finely chopped
3–4 green onions, finely sliced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
For Cooking
2 tablespoons butter or olive oil, for brushing
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. Add the salt and oil, then gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms.
- Knead and Rest
Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Prepare and Cook
Mix the chopped spinach, green onions, parsley, olive oil, salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each into a circle, add a spoonful of filling, seal the edges, and gently roll out again. Cook each flatbread on a hot, lightly greased skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side until golden with brown spots. Brush with butter or olive oil and serve warm.
💡 Tips
Squeeze excess moisture from the spinach to keep the dough from becoming soggy.
Add crumbled feta or shredded mozzarella for a cheesy variation.
Serve with yogurt, garlic sauce, hummus, or your favorite dip.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheat in a skillet before serving.
