🛒 Ingredients
- Non‑dairy yogurt
- Flour
- Instant yeast
- Salt
- Sun‑dried tomatoes, chopped
- Olives, pitted and chopped (optional)
- Fresh baby spinach, chopped
- Fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional)
- Vegan cream cheese
- Italian seasoning
- Nutritional yeast
👩🍳 How to Make It
- Mix non‑dairy yogurt, flour, instant yeast, and salt to form a soft dough; cover and let it rise for 45 minutes.
- While the dough rises, combine chopped sun‑dried tomatoes, olives, spinach, basil, vegan cream cheese, Italian seasoning, and nutritional yeast in a bowl.
- Divide the risen dough into rounds, roll each thin, and spoon the filling onto one half of each round.
- Fold the dough over the filling, seal the edges by pinching, and place the stuffed flatbreads on a parchment‑lined baking sheet.
- Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12‑15 minutes until golden and puffed. Serve warm.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
- Slice the flatbread into wedges, drizzle a little extra‑virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of fresh basil, and serve alongside a crisp cucumber‑tomato salad for a balanced meal.
- Pair the warm flatbread with a chilled glass of dry white wine or a sparkling herbal iced tea, and add a side of roasted red pepper hummus for dipping.
- Stack two wedges on a plate, top with a dollop of avocado‑lime crema, and garnish with toasted pine nuts for an elegant appetizer at your next gathering.
💡 Chef's Tips & Variations
- Swap the olives for capers or roasted red peppers if you prefer a milder brine note, and add a pinch of smoked paprika for a subtle smoky depth.
- For extra protein, fold in cooked lentils or crumbled tempeh into the filling; they blend beautifully with the creamy vegan cheese.
- If you’re short on time, use store‑bought pizza dough instead of the yogurt dough—the flavor and texture stay delightfully fluffy.
- Make ahead: assemble the flatbreads, freeze them on a tray, then transfer to a zip‑top bag; bake directly from frozen for a quick weeknight snack.
