Method

Tap a step once you've finished it.

1. Knead the flour with the salt, water and olive oil into a smooth, soft dough, divide into 4 balls, and rest covered for 30 minutes. ⏱ Timer: 30 min
2. Mix the spinach with the onion, feta, pul biber and a little pepper (don't add salt, the cheese is salty enough).
3. Roll each ball out on a floured surface into a very thin, roughly 40 cm round.
4. Spread a quarter of the filling over one half of the round, fold the other half over, and press the edges to seal.
5. Heat a large, dry pan or griddle over medium heat, and fry the flatbread for 3-4 minutes per side, brushing the top with melted butter as it cooks. ⏱ Timer: 3 min
6. Once both sides are patchily golden, remove, brush once more with butter, and serve warm, cut into wedges.
