Homemade Flatbread with Green Onions and Spinach
Ingredients:
300 ml warm water (1 1/2 cups)
1 teaspoon salt (7 grams)
1 egg
550 grams flour (4 1/5 cups)
40 grams green onions, chopped
50 grams spinach, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon red pepper
100 grams butter, melted
Instructions:
Prepare the Dough:
Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, 1 teaspoon of salt, and the egg. Mix well until everything is well incorporated.
Add Flour:
Gradually add the flour to the mixture, stirring continuously. Continue adding flour until a soft, manageable dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, gradually add more flour until it reaches the desired consistency.
Knead the Dough:
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
Incorporate the Vegetables: 4. Add Green Onions and Spinach:
Flatten the dough slightly and sprinkle the chopped green onions, chopped spinach, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper over the top. Knead the vegetables into the dough until evenly distributed.
Rest the Dough:
5. Let it Rise:
Place the dough back into the mixing bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Shape and Cook the Flatbread:
6. Divide the Dough:
After the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
Shape the Flatbread:
Roll each piece of dough into a ball, then flatten it into a disc about 1/4 inch thick.
Cook the Flatbread:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Brush each side of the flatbread with melted butter.
Cook each flatbread for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Brush with more melted butter as needed.
