  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Flatbread 

  • 500g Strong white bread flour 
  • 10g Dried yeast 
  • 10g Salt

Here’s how 

  1. First things first, let's make the flatbreads. 
  2. Pour the flour, yeast and salt into a mixing bowl. 
  3. Blend the ingredients together using your hand, then make a well in the centre. 
  4. Pour the water in and mix together with one hand holding the bowl and the other stirring in a claw shape.
  5. When a ball of dough forms on your hand and the mixture is clean from the bowl, transfer to a clean work top and knead for 10 minutes until smooth and stretchy. 
  6. Return the dough to the mixing bowl, cover and leave to prove for 1 hour or until it doubles in size. 
  7. Pre heat the oven 210c 
  8. Once proved scoop the dough back out onto a lightly floured work surface and knock the air out until its a flat dough. 
  9. Divide the mixture into equal portions approx 75g each, the roll out into pitta bread shapes approx 1cm thick. 
  10. Pre heat the oven to 210c, for this recipe you can use a pizza stone and pre heated for 30 minutes so that you get a nice dry heat and a good pop from the pitta as they bake. You can also bake in the oven and finish off on the BBQ for a chargrilled finish.
  11. Baked the breads for 20 minutes or until golden and raised into a pocket.

  1. Whisk together in a bowl the feta and ricotta cheese. 
  2. Spoon the mixture onto a plate and spread to the edges with the back of your spoon. 
  3. In another bowl mix together the honey, chilli and lemon juice.
