Cheesy Spinach Stuffed Flatbread is a warm and comforting dish combining ooey-gooey cheese and vibrant spinach, encased in soft flatbread. This easy-to-make recipe transforms ordinary ingredients into a delightful meal, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup warm water
- 1 packet (2¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups spinach (fresh or frozen)
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour.
- While the dough is rising, sauté garlic in olive oil until fragrant, then add spinach and cook until wilted.
- Remove spinach from heat and let it cool. Mix it with cream cheese, mozzarella, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into four equal portions.
- Roll each portion into a flat round shape, about ¼ inch thick.
- Spoon filling onto one half of the round, fold the other half over, and pinch the edges to seal.
- Cook the stuffed flatbread in the skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Slice the flatbread and serve warm.
Notes
For a quicker option, use store-bought dough. You can prepare the filling ahead of time to save time on busy nights. Keep an eye on the skillet temperature to avoid burning.
