Description

Golden, crispy flatbread stuffed with rich sardines, creamy feta, fresh spinach, and juicy tomatoes. A savory Mediterranean-inspired treat that’s surprisingly simple to make and full of bold flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cans sardines in olive oil, drained and flaked
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 1/4 cup black olives, sliced
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced or wedged
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a baking tray inside to heat.
  2. In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, water, and olive oil to form a dough. Knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth. Let rest.
  3. Lightly flour a sheet of parchment or prep a hot baking tray.
  4. Roll out the dough into a circle or rectangle. Layer spinach, sardines, onions, tomatoes, olives, and feta. Sprinkle chili flakes if using.
  5. Fold the dough over or cover with another layer and seal edges.
  6. Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden and crisp.
  7. Squeeze lemon over the flatbread and let cool slightly.
  8. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • Let the dough rest for easier rolling and better texture.
  • Top with sesame seeds before baking for added crunch.
