Knead the dough for 5 minutes until sticky.

Transfer the dough to a baking pan lined with parchment paper and spread it out.

Cover the dough with a towel and let it rise for about 50 minutes.

Prepare the eggplant by slicing it in half and brushing with oil.

Place the eggplant halves on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 30 minutes until soft.

Once the dough has risen, shape it and preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Sprinkle water on top of the dough and optionally add poppy seeds or sesame seeds.

Bake the bread for 20-30 minutes until golden.

After roasting, scoop out the eggplant flesh and combine it with feta, heavy cream, and garlic in a bowl.

Blend the mixture until creamy, adding olive oil for consistency.
