Ingredients:
- For the Flatbread:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- For the Filling:
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup green onions, finely sliced (white and green parts)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil (for brushing)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix well.
- Make a well in the center and add the warm water and olive oil.
- Stir with a fork until the dough begins to come together. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a bowl, mix together the chopped spinach, green onions, garlic powder (if using), salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Roll Out the Flatbread:
- After resting, divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball into a thin circle (about 1/8 inch thick).
- Fill the Flatbreads:
- Place a generous amount of the spinach and green onion mixture on one half of each rolled-out dough circle, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Fold the other half over the filling, pressing the edges to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for extra security.
- Cook the Flatbreads:
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with olive oil.
- Cook each flatbread for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. You may need to adjust the heat to prevent burning.
- Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the flatbreads from the skillet and brush with a little olive oil for extra flavor.
- Serve warm with your favorite dips, soups, or as a side to any meal.
