Instructions

  1. Mix the flour, a pinch of salt and the oil, then gradually add the lukewarm water until you have a soft dough. Knead for 5 minutes, cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Wash and dry the spinach and herbs, then chop them finely. Crumble the feta and mix it with the herbs, the finely sliced onion, pepper and a pinch of salt.
  3. Divide the dough into 4 balls and roll each into a very thin disc about 20 cm across.
  4. Spread the filling over one half of each disc, leaving a border, then fold the other half over to form a half-moon and seal the edges firmly by pressing with a fork.
  5. Heat a heavy-based pan over medium heat without fat, add the flatbread and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown spots appear.
  6. Brush lightly with oil as you take it out of the pan, sprinkle with sumac and serve straight away with yogurt.

Variations and tips

Vegan version. Replace the feta with crumbled tofu seasoned with lemon and salt, and use olive oil.

Using what's easy to find. Feta and herbs are easy to find at the supermarket; frozen dill can replace fresh dill.
