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:

1. 1. 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.
   2. 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.

   3. 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.

7. Shape the Flatbread:
   • Roll each piece of dough into a ball, then flatten it into a disc about 1/4 inch thick.
8. 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.

Serve: 9. Serve Warm:

• Serve the flatbreads warm, either on their own or with your favorite dips, soups, or toppings.

Serving Suggestions:

• • Pair with hummus, tzatziki, or your favorite dip.

• Serve alongside a hearty soup or stew.
• Enjoy as a sandwich wrap with your favorite fillings.

Cooking Tips:

• Ensure the dough is well-kneaded to develop the gluten, which gives the flatbread its chewy texture.
• You can add other herbs or spices to the dough for additional flavor.

Nutritional Benefits:

• Spinach and Green Onions: Rich in vitamins and minerals, adding nutritional value to the flatbread.
• Butter: Adds flavor and helps to achieve a crispy texture.
