Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
- 3-4 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for topping)
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir in the olive oil and warm water gradually until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. - Incorporate the Vegetables:
Gently fold the chopped spinach and green onions into the dough, kneading until evenly distributed. For extra flavor, you can add garlic powder at this stage. - Rest the Dough:
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20-30 minutes. This helps the dough relax, making it easier to roll out. - Shape the Flatbreads:
Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions. Roll each piece into a ball and use a rolling pin to flatten it into a thin circle (about 1/4 inch thick). For added texture, sprinkle sesame seeds on top before cooking. - Cook the Flatbreads:
Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly brush with olive oil. Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown spots appear. Press down with a spatula to ensure even cooking. - Serve:
Remove from heat and brush with a little more olive oil if desired. Serve warm as a side dish, or use as a base for wraps or pizza.
