Instructions:
Prepare the Dough:
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Add warm water and olive oil.
Knead for about 5-7 minutes until a smooth dough forms.
Cover and let it rest for about an hour or until doubled in size.

Roll out each piece into a small circle.
Place a generous amount of the feta filling in the center, then fold and pinch the edges together to seal.
Gently roll out again into a thick disc.
Cook the Flatbreads:
Heat a skillet or pan over medium heat.
Cook each flatbread for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly charred in spots.

Finish & Serve:
Brush the warm flatbreads with the herb oil mixture.
Serve warm and enjoy!
Q&A Section
Q: Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
A: Yes! You can substitute whole wheat flour, but the texture may be denser. Try using a mix of 50% whole wheat and 50% all-purpose flour for a balanced texture.
Q: Can I prepare the dough in advance?
A: Absolutely! You can make the dough a day ahead and store it in the fridge. Just let it come to room temperature before rolling it out.
Q: How can I store leftovers?
A: Store the cooked flatbreads in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan or oven before serving.
Q: Can I freeze the flatbreads?
A: Yes! Freeze them in a single layer, then store in a freezer bag. Reheat in a pan or oven at 350°F (175°C) until warm.
Q: What can I serve with these flatbreads?
A: They pair well with hummus, tzatziki, baba ganoush, or a fresh salad. You can also drizzle honey over them for a sweet-savory twist!
