Ingredients
Warm Water: 300 milliliters (1 1/2 cups)
Salt: 1 teaspoon (7 grams)
Egg: 1
Flour: 550 grams (4 1/5 cups)
Green Onions: 40 grams, finely chopped
Spinach: 50 grams, finely chopped
Salt for Filling: 1/2 teaspoon
Red Pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
Butter: 100 grams, melted
(Note: A 200-milliliter cup was used for measurement in this recipe.)
Directions
Prepare the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine 300 milliliters (1 1/2 cups) of warm water and 1 teaspoon (7 grams) of salt. Stir well until the salt dissolves.
Add 1 egg to the mixture and stir again until fully combined.
Gradually add 550 grams (4 1/5 cups) of flour to the bowl, stirring continuously with a spoon until the mixture starts to come together.
Knead the dough by hand for about 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough with a cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest for 15 minutes to relax the gluten.
Prepare the Filling:
Finely chop a small bunch of green onions (40 grams) and a small bunch of spinach (50 grams).
In a separate bowl, combine the chopped green onions and spinach. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper. Stir well to mix the filling ingredients.
Form the Flatbreads:
Divide the rested dough into 8 equal pieces and roll them into balls.
Cover the dough balls with a cloth to prevent them from drying out while you work.
Roll out 2 balls thinly with a rolling pin to about 8-10 inches in diameter.
Layer and Fill the Dough:
Melt 100 grams of butter. Brush one layer of the rolled-out dough with melted butter.
Sprinkle a small portion of the spinach and onion filling over the buttered dough layer.
Place the second rolled-out layer on top of the first layer.
Brush the top layer with more melted butter and add a bit more filling.
Cut and Roll:
Cut the layered dough into 6 strips.
Roll each strip into a spiral shape. This will yield 4 flatbreads after rolling.
Roll Out and Cook:
Roll out each piece again to about an 8-inch (20 cm) diameter.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little butter to the hot skillet.
Place a flatbread in the skillet and brush the top with more melted butter.
Fry each flatbread in the skillet for about 3 minutes on each side, flipping from time to time until a golden brown crust forms.
Serve:
Serve hot as a delicious breakfast or snack. Enjoy the flaky texture and savory filling!
Serving Suggestions
Serve these flatbreads warm with a side of yogurt, a fresh salad, or a bowl of soup for a satisfying meal.
They can also be paired with a dipping sauce, like tzatziki or hummus, for added flavor.
Cooking Tips
Dough Consistency: Make sure the dough is smooth and not sticky; add a little more flour if needed.
