Ingredients

Dough

• 110ml tepid water
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp dried instant yeast or 10g fresh yeast, crumbled
• 200g flour
• 15ml extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 tsp sea salt

Filling

• 300g baby spinach
• 100g feta, crumbled
• 100g low moisture mozzarella, grated
• pinch of nutmeg (optional)
• salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Make the Dough

1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt and yeast.
2. Make a well in the centre.
3. In a separate bowl combine the water and olive oil
4. Pour this mixture in the well you’ve created and start mixing slowly with a wooden spoon.
5. When a dough forms it’s time to get your hands dirty and knead. Do so for a few minutes until the dough becomes elastic and the gluten develops.
6. You can, of course, do this in a stand mixer with the dough attachment. Knead well for 1-2 minutes.
7. Form the dough into a ball and place it into an oiled bowl. Cover and let rise for an hour in a warm place (I like to use the turned off oven). Alternatively you can let it rise overnight in the fridge. Bring back to room temperature in the morning.
8. When the dough has doubled in size (after about one hour) knock the air out and shape it.
9. Cut into 4-8 equal pieces
10. Flatten each piece with your hands and add a generous amount of filling in the middle
11. Bring in the sides and shape it like a dumpling.
12. Flatten the dough again with a rolling pin into a disc about 1 cm thick. Depending on how many flatbreads you are making, their size will vary.
13. Fry each flatbread in a hot dry pan, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Serve immediately.

Make the Filling

1. In a large bowl place the washed baby spinach
2. Pour boiling water on top until covered, let it wilt for a few minutes
3. Drain the spinach in a colander and squeeze as much water as possible with a wooden spoon.
4. Place the spinach back into the original bowl.
5. Add the cheeses, tiny bit of salt, pepper, nutmeg (if using).
6. Mix until well combined and set aside.

Notes

Replace the spinach and cheese filling by cheese only, ham, bacon, or even hazelnut spread.
