Ingredients
Serves 2
For the flatbreads:
- 300g strong flour
- 7g fast-action dried yeast
- 150ml warm water
- 20g olive oil
- 30g yoghurt
- Pinch of sea salt
For the spiced butter:
- 200g softened salted butter
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tbsp ground coriander
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- Small piece ginger, grated
To garnish
- 4 medium sized carrots
- 2 tbsp chilli flakes
- 50ml vinegar
- 100ml honey
- 50g yoghurt
- 50g feta cheese
- Coriander, to garnish
- Mint leaves, to garnish
- Lemon zest, to garnish
Method
- Begin by making your flatbread dough, place the flour, yeast and sea salt in a mixer with a dough hook. Mix to distribute the yeast before adding the yoghurt, olive oil and warm water.
- Mix for 10 mins until the dough cleans the bowl. Place in a greased bowl and cover. Leave in a warm place to triple in size ( this can take up to 2 hours)
- Now to make the spiced butter, mix the ingredients together evenly before shaping like a sausage in clingfilm. Roll tightly and keep in the fridge until ready to use.
- For the hot honey, add the chilli flakes, vinegar and honey to a pot and bring to the boil. Place in a jar and leave to infuse for at least 24 hours.
- At this point, it's time to cook. Preheat the oven to 180c. Place a large, non stick pan on a high heat and add some vegetable oil. Dust your work surface with some flour and turn your flatbread dough out on top.
- Dust with more flour on top before rolling about 1 inch thick. Cut the dough into pieces that will fit the pan. Fry for 1 minute on both sides until dark golden brown. Transfer to a tray and cook in the oven for 5 mins to cook through. Clean the pan and return to a medium heat
- Peel the carrots evenly and cut into finger length pieces. Add a touch of vegetable oil to the pan and get the carrots in. Roll the carrots over the heat until they start to colour.
- Controlling your heat, add about 2 tbsp of your spiced butter and continue rolling the pan so the butter foams and cooks the carrots through, turning them golden brown. This takes about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and add some sea salt and lemon zest.
- To assemble, place the flatbread on a plate. Brush with yoghurt and top with the roasted carrots and some butter from the pan. Crumble the feta on top and garnish with the hot honey, mint and coriander leaves.
