Cheesy Spinach and Herb Quick Flatbread

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup spinach chopped
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
1/4 cup plain yogurt
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Fresh herbs (such as parsley or basil) for garnish optional

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chopped spinach and shredded cheese to the flour mixture, stirring to incorporate the ingredients evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine the plain yogurt, water, and olive oil, mixing until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overwork the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for a minute until it comes together.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a flat round, about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil.
Cook each flatbread for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Once cooked, remove the flatbreads from the skillet and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
If desired, garnish with fresh herbs such as parsley or basil before serving.
