🧾 Ingredients
Dough:
- 200g self-raising flour
- 170g Greek yogurt
Filling:
- 100g feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 100g spinach, wilted and chopped
- 1 tbsp mint sauce (or use fresh mint + lemon juice)
- A handful of fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp black pepper
For Cooking:
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing or pan-frying)
🧑🍳 Instructions
- Make the Dough:
- In a bowl, mix self-raising flour and Greek yogurt until a dough forms.
- Knead for 2–3 minutes until smooth.
- Cover and let rest for 10–15 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a bowl, combine crumbled feta, cream cheese, spinach, mint sauce, chopped mint, garlic, and black pepper.
- Mix until well combined.
- Assemble the Flatbreads:
- Divide dough into 4 equal balls.
- Roll each out into a small oval or round shape.
- Place 1–2 tablespoons of filling on one half.
- Fold over and seal the edges or press down flat and spread the filling on top (as pictured).
- Cook:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and brush lightly with olive oil.
- Cook flatbreads for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden and puffy.
- Optionally brush with more olive oil or garlic butter after cooking.
📌 Notes
- Use store-bought naan as a shortcut, just stuff and bake or toast!
- These can be oven-baked at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes instead of pan-cooked.
- Use dairy-free yogurt and vegan cheese alternatives for a vegan version.
💡 Tips
- Let the dough rest for softer texture.
- Squeeze excess water from spinach before mixing.
- Add a pinch of chili flakes or lemon zest for a zingy twist.
- Best served warm, fresh off the pan or oven.
