Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 cup goat cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. Add 3/4 cup plain yogurt and stir until a soft dough forms. Knead lightly on a floured surface for 2 minutes and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 minced garlic clove and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add 1 cup chopped fresh spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season with 1/4 tsp black pepper and let cool slightly.
- Step 3: Divide dough into 6 equal balls. Roll each into a 6-inch circle. Spread 1 tbsp goat cheese and 2 tbsp cooked spinach mixture onto one half of each circle.
- Step 4: Fold dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape and press edges to seal.
- Step 5: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Serve warm.
