Instructions
Preparation of Dough
- In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder together.
- Gradually add the warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil, stirring continuously until a rough dough begins to form.
- Once the dough holds together, knead it on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Preparation of Filling
- In a bowl, combine crumbled feta, chopped mint, and lemon zest.
Assembling Flatbreads
- Once the dough has rested, divide it into small balls (yielding about 6-8 flatbreads).
- Roll each ball into a thin circle, about 6 inches in diameter.
- Place a spoonful of the feta-mint mixture in the center.
- Fold the dough over the filling, creating a half-moon shape, and pinch the edges to seal.
Cooking
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and brush with olive oil.
- Place the stuffed flatbreads in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden.
- Remove from the skillet and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm.
Notes
To elevate the flavors, consider adding sun-dried tomatoes or olives to the filling. If the dough is too sticky, add flour bit by bit. You can grill the flatbreads for a smoky flavor.
