Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375ðF (190ðC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash the curly-leaf spinach thoroughly and remove any tough stems.
  3. In a large skillet, wilt the spinach over medium heat until it has reduced in volume and released its liquid, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Squeeze out excess moisture from the wilted spinach using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
  5. Finely chop the drained spinach and mix it with your chosen base ingredients (such as flour, water, and seasonings) to form a cohesive dough.
  6. Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion out into thin circles on a floured surface.
  7. Place the flatbreads on the prepared baking sheet and prick the surface with a fork to prevent puffing.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are firm to the touch.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
