    For the Filling:

    1 cup crumbled feta cheese

  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/4 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, oil-packed, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste

    • For the Drizzle:

    2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

    • Preparation Process:

    1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the olive oil, Greek yogurt, egg, and milk. Mix until a dough forms. Knead for a few minutes on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
    2. Assemble the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the feta cheese, red onion, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, dill, mint, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
    3. Cook the Flatbread: Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
    4. Assemble the Flatbreads: Top each cooked flatbread with a generous amount of the filling.
    5. Drizzle and Serve: Drizzle the flatbreads with the olive oil-honey-lemon mixture. Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh herbs, if desired.
