Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
If you’re out of Greek yogurt, you can substitute it with regular yogurt but make sure to strain it to achieve a similar consistency. For a dairy-free version, try using a plant-based yogurt and a vegan feta alternative.
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed.
- Add the Greek yogurt and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon until the dough starts to come together.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. This reminds me of my childhood, kneading dough alongside my mom, feeling the transformation under my hands.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal parts and roll each piece into a ball. Cover with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.
- In a small bowl, mix the feta cheese, chopped mint, oregano, and black pepper. This filling is where the magic happens, blending flavors reminiscent of sunlit Mediterranean afternoons.
- Take one dough ball at a time and roll it out into a circle about 6 inches in diameter. Place a generous spoonful of the feta mixture in the center.
- Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching to seal. Gently flatten the stuffed dough with your palm.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. If you have a cast-iron skillet, even better. It’s perfect for achieving that crispy, golden crust.
- Cook each flatbread for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top while cooking if you like an extra crunch.
Each flatbread is a labor of love, from mixing the dough to the final flip in the skillet, just like the tortillas my family and I used to make. The aroma will transport you to a Mediterranean haven.
