Stuffed Spinach and Feta Flatbread is a Mediterranean-inspired flatbread filled with sautéed spinach, creamy feta, and aromatic herbs, cooked to golden perfection and ideal as a snack, appetizer, or light meal.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp active dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (plus more for cooking)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 4 cups fresh spinach (or 1 1/2 cups frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill or parsley, chopped
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, to taste)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Knead into a soft dough. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.
  3. In a pan, sauté onion and garlic in a little olive oil until soft. Add spinach and cook until wilted or dry. Let cool slightly.
  4. Stir crumbled feta, herbs, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) into the spinach mixture.
  5. Divide dough into 6 equal parts. Roll each into a circle on a floured surface.
  6. Spoon filling onto one half of each circle. Fold over and seal edges tightly by pressing with fingers or a fork.
  7. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly oil and cook each flatbread 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature with dipping sauce if desired.

Notes

  • Use whole wheat flour for a heartier option.
  • Don’t overstuff to prevent leakage during cooking.
  • Flatbreads can be baked at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes as an alternative.
  • Fresh spinach gives best texture, but frozen works if well-drained.
  • Pair with tzatziki, garlic yogurt, or tomato sauce for dipping.
