Ingredients
- Flatbread Dough:
- 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¾ cup (180 ml) warm water
- Topping:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 2 cups (60 g) fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1½ cups (150 g) mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (100 g) dairy-free cheese (e.g., Violife-style shreds)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add olive oil and warm water. Stir until a soft dough forms.
- Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 3 minutes until smooth. Let rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic and mushrooms for 4–5 minutes until softened.
- Add spinach, oregano, pepper, and salt. Cook for 1–2 minutes until spinach wilts. Remove from heat.
- Roll the dough into a thin oval or circle, about ¼ inch thick. Place on a parchment-lined baking tray and brush with remaining olive oil.
- Spread the spinach and mushroom mixture evenly over the dough. Top with dairy-free cheese.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden and cheese is melted. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
- Use whole wheat flour for added fiber and heartiness.
- Frozen spinach works—just thaw and squeeze out excess water.
- Top with chili flakes for spice or olives for a Mediterranean twist.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven or a dry skillet for best texture.
