Instructions

Start by adding your dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl and then add your wet ingredients. Knead dough for 5 minutes until a sticky dough forms (it’s best to keep your dough sticky). Place the dough back into the bowl, put a towel over it, and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Chop greenery into small pieces, but not too small! After chopping your greens add seasonings, lemon, and oil. Combine all together.
Flour your surface and form the dough into a loaf and separate it into 8 pieces; 4 ounces each. Form the dough equally into small balls with the palm of your hands and place a towel over them. Place one dough ball at a time on a floured surface.
Press against it to flatten the dough out with the palm of your hands. Roll the dough with a floured rolling pin in a long oval shape. Place about two large tablespoons of the greenery in the center of the dough; pinch your dough edges together to close the flatbread. Turn the flatbread seam-side down and firmly press against the flatbread with your fingertips. The thickness should be about 1/4″ thin.
Lastly, preheat your skillet or cast iron pan on high heat for 15-20 minutes. Then turn the fire on medium heat and place flatbread hats seam-side down. Allow this to cook for 2-3 minutes until you see one side browning.
Turn over to the other side with a spatula and cook the other side. While you cook the rest of the flatbreads, place a towel over the finished ones to keep them warm and now it’s time to enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to keep your dough sticky, don’t over flour while kneading.
Allow your dough to rest, this is important.
Make sure to form your flatbread so that the middle is wide and the ends are pointed out.
While you cook the rest of the flatbreads, place a towel over them to keep them warm.
