Tiropsomo (Feta-Stuffed Flatbread)

This is a yeast flatbread remixed from a couple of recipes at Dimitra’s Dishes, using no-knead olive oil dough.
Since it’s a flatbread, there’s no rising time, bread stone, or steam tray required.

Instructions are provided for one big flatbread or more individual servings.

Ingredients

  • 1 grapefruit-sized chunk of (preferably) olive oil no-knead dough (1 lb.)
  • 1 T melted butter
  • feta
  • mozzarella and/or cream cheese (optional)
  • dried or fresh mint, or oregano, to taste
  • black pepper (optional)

Topping

  • 1 T melted butter
  • sesame seeds or nigella (optional)

  4. Sprinkle dough with flour, divide dough in half or into 3–4 personal-sized portions, and shape into balls.
  5. Flatten to ¼" thick. If making one flatbread, place half the dough into the baking pan. Brush all dough with butter.
