Tips
1. Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh feta cheese, fragrant herbs, and a good-quality olive oil will make all the difference in the flavor of your flatbread.
2. Don’t overwork the dough: Mix the dough just until the ingredients come together, then let it rest. Overworking the dough can lead to a tough, dense flatbread.
3. Pre-bake the crust: Pre-baking the crust for a few minutes will help it hold its shape and prevent the toppings from making it soggy.
4. Add your favorite toppings: While feta cheese and herbs are a classic combination, feel free to add your favorite toppings, such as cherry tomatoes, olives, or grilled chicken.
