For the Dough

For the Filling
- 3.5 oz crumbled feta cheese Rich and salty, perfect contrast to spinach.
- 3.5 oz spinach, wilted and chopped Contributes color and nutritional value.

For Frying and Dipping
- 1 tbsp mint sauce Complementary dipping sauce.
- 1 tbsp olive oil Used for frying and adding flavor.
Instructions
Making the Dough
- In a mixing bowl, combine self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the mixture on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
Preparing the Filling
- In another bowl, combine wilted spinach, crumbled feta cheese, cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped mint, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Assembling the Flatbreads
- Divide rested dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each into a ball, then flatten into a round disc about 1/4-inch thick.
- Place a generous spoonful of the filling in the center of each disc, fold to create a semi-circle, and pinch edges to seal.
Cooking the Flatbreads
- Heat a dry non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook each stuffed flatbread for 3-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Preparing the Mint Sauce
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil with mint sauce.
Serving
- Serve the warm flatbreads with the mint sauce on the side.
Notes
Resting the dough is crucial for gluten relaxation. Monitor cooking heat to avoid burning. Variations include using other herbs or adding sun-dried tomatoes. Freezing is a great option for leftovers.
