Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine lukewarm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

    ~10 min
  2. 2

    Add whole wheat flour, salt, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

    ~5 min
  3. 3

    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

    ~60 min
  4. 4

    While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a frying pan, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

    ~2 min
  5. 5

    Add the mixed bitter greens and chopped walnuts to the pan. Cook, stirring, for 3-5 minutes until the greens are wilted. Season with black pepper and optional red pepper flakes. Remove from heat.

    ~5 min
  6. 6

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a rough circle or oval shape.

    ~3 min
  7. 7

    Press some of the wilted greens and walnut mixture onto each flatbread, leaving a small border. Drizzle with a little pomegranate molasses.

    ~3 min
  8. 8

    Heat a clean frying pan or a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each flatbread for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

    ~10 min
  9. 9

    Serve immediately, with an extra drizzle of pomegranate molasses if desired.

Tips

  • If you find the bitter greens too intense, you can blanch them quickly in boiling water for 30 seconds before sautéing to reduce their bitterness.
  • Leftover flatbreads can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days and reheated gently in a dry pan.
