Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb store-bought pizza dough or flatbread dough
- 8 oz (about 1 ½ cups) crumbled feta cheese
- ½ cup fresh mint, finely chopped
- ¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- **Prepare the Filling:** In a medium bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, fresh mint, fresh parsley (if using), 2 tablespoons olive oil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- **Prepare the Dough:** On a lightly floured surface, divide the store-bought dough into 6-8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a small circle, approximately 5-6 inches in diameter.
- **Stuff the Flatbreads:** Place a generous spoonful of the feta-mint filling in the center of each dough circle. Gather the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch them together tightly to seal, forming a ball. Gently flatten the ball back into a disc, taking care not to let the filling burst through.
- **Cook the Flatbreads:** Heat a large non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Brush the pan lightly with olive oil. Place 1-2 flatbreads in the hot pan (do not overcrowd) and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown, puffed up, and cooked through with some darker spots.
- **Serve:** Remove cooked flatbreads from the skillet and serve immediately. Repeat with the remaining flatbreads.
Notes
For an extra crispy exterior, you can briefly finish the cooked flatbreads under a hot broiler for 1-2 minutes. Serve these delicious flatbreads with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt or a side of fresh cucumber salad for a complete Mediterranean experience.
