Ingredients
- 7 g dry yeast
- 100 ml lukewarm water
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 175 g all purpose flour
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- handful spinach leaves
- 80 g feta cheese, crumbled
- red pepper flakes and salt to taste
- 1 egg
- 1 beaten egg for the edges
1. Make the yeast mixture; in a small bowl, stir together the lukewarm water, sugar and dry yeast. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, oil, salt and yeast mixture knead until a ball of dough begins to form. (5 to 10 minutes).
3. Oil a bowl and place the dough into the greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and a clean kitchen towel. Allow to rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
4. Preheat the oven to 220 C / 428 F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough ball into a oval shape of 20 cm x 40 cm (about 8”x16”), with ½ cm (0.2”) thickness.
6. Place the spinach leaves and crumbled feta cheese on the dough. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and salt. Leaving 2 cm at the edges as a border with no filling (it is easier to spread the filling while the oval flat bread is in the tray).
7. Fold in the sides to act as border to keep the filling intact. Squeeze the oval dough at each end to make it pointy.
8. Brush the edges of dough with the beaten egg.
9. Bake for about 15 minutes, remove from oven. Break the egg in the center of the bread. Bake for about 15 minutes more or until golden brown and crispy at the edges.
Once cool, cut into slices and serve.
