Our Utah adventure II | Greek flat bread (Lagana recipe)

feta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Cottage cheese reduces fat while maintaining creaminess.

phyllo pastry

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pastry

💰Cheaper: store-bought puff pastry

Whole wheat pastry adds fiber and nutrients.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is healthier.

spinach

🥗Healthier: kale

💰Cheaper: collard greens

Kale is nutrient-dense and collard greens are often less expensive.

Add warm water, yeast, and sugar in a mixing bowl to combine. Set aside for 10 minutes.

In another bowl, mix the two flours and salt.

Combine the wet ingredients with the flour mix and knead until the dough is soft and does not crumble.

Coat a bowl lightly with olive oil, place the dough inside, and cover. Let it rise in a warm environment for about 40 minutes, or until it doubles in size.

Uncover and knead a bit more, about 5 minutes.

Spread or roll the dough evenly on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, or separate into two small balls on the tray and let them rise for another 10-15 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

Poke holes across the surface of the Lagana bread with your finger, sprinkle with the topping mix, and add sesame seeds.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until crispy and deep golden.
