Directions
For the Flatbread:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients.
- Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and roll each piece into a ball.
- Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 15 minutes.
For the Filling:
- In a medium bowl, mix the chopped spinach, green onions, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Set aside.
Assembling the Flatbread:
- Roll each dough ball into a thin circle on a floured surface.
- Spread a generous amount of the spinach and green onion mixture over half of each dough circle.
- Fold the other half of the dough over the filling and press the edges to seal.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with olive oil.
- Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Tips and Shortcuts
- Tip: For a richer flavor, add some crumbled feta or grated mozzarella to the filling.
- Shortcut: Use pre-made dough from the store to save time.
- Variation: Add some garlic or herbs like dill or parsley to the filling for extra flavor.

How to Store Leftovers
Store any leftover flatbreads in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm them in a skillet over medium heat until heated through. You can also freeze the cooked flatbreads—just wrap each one in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Reheat directly from frozen in a skillet or oven.
Food and Drink Pairings
This flatbread pairs beautifully with a fresh salad, a bowl of tomato soup, or a hearty lentil stew. For beverages, consider a glass of chilled white wine, a light beer, or a refreshing iced tea.
