Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 550 grams (4 1/5 cups) flour
- 300 milliliters (1 1/2 cups) warm water
- 100 grams (1/2 cup) butter, melted
- 1 egg
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 40 grams green onions, chopped
- 50 grams spinach, chopped
- 1 teaspoon (7 grams) salt
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper
Instructions
- Activate yeast in warm water, creating a frothy base for the dough. Incorporate egg and salt, whisking until smooth and homogeneous.
- Gradually fold flour into liquid mixture, blending thoroughly to develop a cohesive, soft dough. Knead on a floured surface for 6-8 minutes until texture becomes smooth and elastic.
- Gently fold chopped green onions, spinach, additional salt, and red pepper into dough. Ensure vegetables distribute evenly throughout the mixture.
- Transfer dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth. Allow to proof in a warm environment for approximately 60 minutes until volume doubles.
- Punch down risen dough and divide into 8 equal portions. Roll each segment into a round disc, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Preheat non-stick skillet to medium-high temperature. Brush each flatbread with melted butter before cooking.
- Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes per side, rotating when golden brown spots appear. Brush with additional butter as needed to enhance flavor and prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately while warm. Accompany with complementary dips or enjoy as a standalone item.
Notes
- Master the dough consistency by gradually adding flour, ensuring it’s soft and not sticky for the perfect texture.
- Develop robust flavor by thoroughly kneading green onions and spinach into the dough, distributing vegetables evenly for a uniform taste profile.
- Experiment with alternative flours like whole wheat or gluten-free blends to accommodate different dietary needs while maintaining the flatbread’s core characteristics.
- Enhance versatility by exploring various herb and spice combinations, transforming the basic recipe into a customizable culinary canvas that suits individual preferences.
