Ingredients
For the dough
- 2 cups all-purpose flour A staple that provides the perfect base for your flatbreads.
- 1 tsp salt Essential for enhancing the flavor of the dough.
- 1 tsp baking powder Helps create a light, fluffy texture.
- 3/4 cup warm water To bring the dough together, making it pliable.
- 2 tbsp olive oil Adds richness and depth of flavor.
For the filling
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled Creamy, tangy, and soul-satisfying.

- 1 tbsp lemon zest Introduces a hint of brightness.
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing) Ensures a beautiful golden-brown finish.

Instructions
Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
- Gradually pour in the warm water and olive oil. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until the mixture begins to come together.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough with a clean cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Filling
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, chopped mint, and lemon zest. Mix well.
Assemble
- Once the dough has rested, divide it into small balls—about the size of a golf ball.
- Lightly flour your surface and roll each ball out into a thin circle, about 6 inches in diameter.
- Place a spoonful of the feta and mint mixture in the center of each dough circle, fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape, and carefully pinch the edges together to seal.
Cook
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and brush with a little olive oil.
- Place the stuffed flatbreads in the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Serve
- Remove from the skillet, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding a touch of garlic or a pinch of chili flakes to the feta mixture. Leftovers can be reheated in a skillet for a few minutes to regain the crisp texture.
