Flatbreads

• 70 g Yoghurt Natural yoghurt is fine for this but you can use Greek too
• 70 g Self raising flour

Filling

• 1 Pack Halloumi Cheese
• 1 Lemon Zest and Juice
• 1 tsp Thyme
• 2 tsp Honey
• 2 handful Rocket
• 8 Cherry Tomatoes halved
• 1 Spring Onion Finely Sliced
• 1 tsp Olive Oil for frying the halloumi Cheese

Tzatziki

• ⅕ Cucumber
• 2 tsp Mint
• 2 tbsp Greek Yoghurt heaped spoon
• Salt
• Pepper

Instructions

 

• In a bowl, mix the 70g flour and 70g yoghurt, seasoned well with salt and pepper, into a smooth ball of dough. It should take just a few minutes to come together. Cover and leave to rise for about 15 mins.
• Meanwhile, zest the lemon and add the juice to a small bowl. Add the chopped thyme and honey and stir to make a marinade.
• Cut the halloumi into 1cm slices and arrange in a bowl or tupperware with a lid, pour over the marinade and cover all of the cheese.
• Prepare the tzatziki dip by finely slicing the cucumber and mixing with the 2 tbsp of yoghurt and the chopped mint, and a little salt and pepper.
• On the hob, heat a frying pan or flat griddle. You will need this really hot. No oil is needed, you will be baking your flatbreads dry.
• Divide the bread into two large or four small balls and using plenty of extra flour, roll or press this out into flat rounds. Place in the hot pan/griddle and cook for 1-2 minutes. It should puff up a little. Turn over and cook the other side. Flip until each side is nicely toasted (a little bit blackened add to the flavour, but don't overdo it). Place cooked flatbreads on a cooling rack so they don't steam themselves soggy.
• Once you've cooked the flatbreads, if using a frying pan, allow it to cool a little before adding a little olive oil. Fry the halloumi slices until golden on each side.
• Now assemble your flatbreads, layering rocket on the bread, adding the tomatoes and spring onion and drizzling with the tzatziki sauce. Top with your halloumi slices.
