Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 200 grams (7.05 ounces) self-raising flour
- 170 grams (6 ounces) greek yoghurt
- 100 grams (3.5 ounces) feta cheese, crushed
- 100 grams (3.5 ounces) spinach, wilted with boiling water, squeezed and roughly chopped
Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 handful of mint leaves, finely chopped
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon mint sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Craft a pliable dough by combining self-raising flour and Greek yoghurt in a spacious mixing vessel. Utilize chopsticks or hands to integrate ingredients, then knead for 5 minutes until achieving a smooth, elastic consistency. Incorporate additional flour if the mixture feels excessively tacky. Encase the dough with plastic wrap and allow to rest.
- Prepare the savory filling by blending crumbled feta, cream cheese, chopped mint leaves, thoroughly drained spinach, minced garlic, and freshly ground black pepper in a mixing bowl. Ensure ingredients are meticulously combined, creating a uniform and flavorful mixture.
- Gently re-knead the rested dough for approximately 30 seconds, then partition into four equivalent portions. Using fingertips, carefully flatten each segment to approximately 3/4 inch thickness. Position a generous tablespoon of prepared filling at the center of each dough round. Delicately fold the edges toward the middle, completely encasing the filling. Flip the parcel and gently press to create a uniform flatbread shape, dusting with flour as necessary.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet to medium-high temperature. Carefully transfer the prepared flatbreads into the pan, cooking for 3-5 minutes per side. Watch attentively, rotating to achieve a rich golden-brown exterior and ensuring even cooking.
- Craft a complementary sauce by whisking together mint sauce and extra virgin olive oil in a small mixing bowl, creating a light, aromatic accompaniment.
- Present the flatbreads while warm or at ambient temperature, accompanied by the prepared mint sauce. Delight in the harmonious blend of flavors and textures.
Notes
- Flour Flexibility Choose self-raising or all-purpose flour with added baking powder for consistent dough texture and easy substitution.
- Moisture Management Squeeze excess water from spinach using a clean kitchen towel to prevent soggy flatbreads and maintain crisp edges.
- Cheese Creativity Swap feta with goat cheese or ricotta for different flavor profiles and dietary preferences like lower sodium options.
- Gluten-Free Adaptation Use gluten-free flour blend and ensure all ingredients are certified gluten-free for celiac-friendly version.
