A quick and easy homemade snack featuring crispy flatbread stuffed with a creamy, flavorful spinach and feta filling. Perfect for a cozy snack or casual meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (120 ml) warm water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for dough)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped (packed)
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill or parsley, finely chopped (optional)
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil (for sautéing and brushing)

Instructions

  1. Make the dough: In a large bowl, mix 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon baking powder and ½ teaspoon salt. Add ½ cup warm water and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Stir until combined, then knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 20 minutes.
  2. Prepare the filling: While the dough rests, heat a teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Transfer to a bowl and mix in crumbled feta, chopped dill or parsley, a pinch of nutmeg, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten into roughly 6-inch circles on a lightly floured surface.
  4. Stuff the flatbread: Spoon a generous amount of the spinach and feta filling onto half of each dough circle, leaving a small border around the edges. Fold the dough over to cover the filling and press the edges firmly to seal, using fingers or a fork.
  5. Cook the flatbread: Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place one stuffed flatbread in the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with remaining flatbreads, adding more oil as needed.
  6. Let the cooked flatbreads rest on a wire rack or paper towels for a minute to drain excess oil and keep crispiness.

Notes

Use medium heat to avoid burning and ensure crispiness. Squeeze excess moisture from spinach to prevent soggy flatbreads. Seal edges firmly to avoid filling leakage. Dough can be made ahead and rested for better texture. For gluten-free option, use gluten-free flour blend and adjust water as needed. Baking option: bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes for less crispy crust.
