Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, and salt. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, stirring until the dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of olive oil over the surface.
- Arrange the cherry tomatoes, olives, and feta cheese evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with fresh oregano and basil.
Serving
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy. Allow to cool slightly before slicing.
- Slice the flatbread into 8 pieces and serve warm. Enjoy as a main dish or alongside a salad.
Storage
- Store any leftover flatbread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
Notes

How to Serve: Serve with a side of hummus or a fresh Greek salad.
Storage & Freshness: Best consumed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare the dough ahead and freeze it for up to 2 months for easy future use.
