Herbed flatbread with whipped feta cheese spread in a bowl
  • Serves:  6
  • Prep Time:  25 min
  • Cook Time:  20 min

Ingredients

Herbed Flatbread

  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons dry active yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup warm water (110°F to 115°F)
  • 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for frying

Whipped Herb Feta

  • 8 ounces feta, crumbled
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh chives, plus more for sprinkling
  • 1 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh rosemary, plus more for sprinkling
  • 1 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh thyme, plus more for sprinkling

Method

  1. Make the flatbread dough. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Add the water and 4 teaspoons olive oil. Using your hands, mix until a shaggy dough forms. Cover the bowl with a towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.

  2. Transfer the dough (it will be sticky) to a lightly floured surface. Divide dough into eight pieces. Use your hands to press each piece until ⅛-inch thick rounds.

  3. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat with olive oil.

  4. Working in batches, cook the dough pieces in the hot skillet, until cooked through and golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Repeat with remaining dough, re-oiling with each dough piece.

  5. Meanwhile, make the whipped feta. Add the feta, cream cheese, pepper, chives, rosemary and thyme to a food processor. Process on HIGH until smooth, about 4 minutes.

  6. Serve the flatbread warm with the whipped feta alongside for spreading. Store any unused whipped feta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
