Ingredients
For the Dough:
-
2 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for kneading)
-
3/4 cup plain or Greek yogurt
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
-
1–2 tablespoons warm water (as needed)
For the Spinach and Cheese Filling:
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
-
2 cups fresh spinach (or 1 cup thawed frozen spinach, squeezed dry)
-
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 minced garlic clove
-
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or mix with feta or cheddar)
Instructions
-
Make the dough: In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Add yogurt and olive oil. Stir to combine, then knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth. Add warm water if dough is dry. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
-
Prepare the filling: Heat olive oil in a skillet, sauté onion (if using) until soft. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Season with garlic, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Let cool, then mix with shredded cheese.
-
Assemble the flatbreads: Divide dough into 6–8 balls. Roll each into a small circle. Add a spoonful of filling to the center. Fold over and seal the edges, forming a stuffed disc. Flatten gently.
-
Cook the flatbreads: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Optional: brush with melted butter or olive oil when done.
-
Serve: Serve warm with yogurt, dips, or as a side to soups and salads.
Notes
-
Drain spinach well to prevent soggy dough.
-
Let the dough rest—it makes rolling easier and improves texture.
-
Don’t overfill the dough to avoid breakage.
-
Use nonstick or cast-iron pan for even browning.
-
Customize with herbs, spices, or other cheeses like feta or ricotta.
-
Freeze cooked flatbreads in a sealed bag and reheat in a skillet or toaster oven.
