Ingredients

Scale

For the Flatbread:

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour (250g)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm water (180 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup fresh spinach, sautéed and drained (30g)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled paneer (120g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon hing (asafoetida)
  • Olive oil, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Flatbread Dough: In a large bowl, mix whole wheat flour, salt, sugar, and dry yeast. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, kneading to form a soft dough. Cover and let it rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Place a baking sheet in the oven to heat.
  3. Roll Out the Dough: Divide the dough into four portions. Roll out each portion on a floured surface to form a round flatbread base.
  4. Assemble the Flatbread: Place the rolled dough on parchment paper. Top with sautéed spinach, crumbled paneer, and a sprinkle of hing. Drizzle with olive oil.
  5. Bake the Flatbread: Transfer the flatbread (with parchment paper) onto the hot baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden and the toppings are heated through.
  6. Serve Hot: Serve the spinach and feta flatbread hot with your favorite side dish.

Notes

  • Variation: Add sun-dried tomatoes or olives for extra flavor.
  • Storage: Store any leftover flatbread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat before serving.
