Instructions
- 1
First, start by activating the yeast in warm water to begin the dough process.
To activate the yeast, mix it with a small amount of warm water in a bowl. Ensure the water is not too hot, as it might kill the yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- 2
Then, combine flour, salt, and the yeast mixture in a large bowl, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, a pinch of salt, and the activated yeast mixture. Mix the ingredients until they form a shaggy dough. This step is crucial as it lays the foundation for your flatbread's texture.
- 3
Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Transfer the shaggy dough to a floured surface and knead. Kneading is a process that develops the gluten in the dough, making it smooth and elastic. This step is essential for the structure of your flatbread and should not be rushed.
- 4
Let the dough rest and rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a damp towel, and let it rest in a warm, draft-free place. This rising process allows the yeast to ferment the sugars in the dough, causing it to expand.
- 5
Preheat your oven to 220°C, preparing it for the flatbread.
While waiting for the dough to rise, preheat your oven to 220°C. This high temperature will help crisp the crust of the flatbread quickly.
- 6
Punch down the dough and divide it into portions for individual flatbreads.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Then, divide it into portions depending on how large you want your flatbreads to be. This step helps in achieving uniform cooking.
- 7
Roll out each portion into a thin circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
On a floured surface, roll out each dough portion into a thin circle. The thickness should be about 1/4 inch to ensure it cooks evenly and becomes crispy.
- 8
Top the flatbread with ground lamb, fig jam, sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and a few fresh mint leaves.
Spread a small amount of fig jam over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Then, top it with ground lamb, ensuring not to overload the flatbread. Add sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and a few fresh mint leaves on top. These ingredients provide a balance of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors.
- 9
Bake the flatbread in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the toppings are heated through.
Place the flatbread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven. Keep an eye on it to ensure the crust does not overcook. The flatbread is done when the crust is golden brown and the toppings are heated through.

RGomez1985This Lamb and Fig Jam Flatbread recipe, it is very nice. I like combination of lamb, fig jam and feta cheese. Reminds me of Spanish tapas, you know, small plates of food. Preparation is not too difficult, but you must be patient with dough. I have to say, I was a bit careful with feta cheese because of my lactose intolerance, but it was okay. I give it 4 stars, would be 5 if it had some olives or other Mediterranean flavors.
MJensen88This Lamb and Fig Jam Flatbread recipe offers a unique blend of flavors reminiscent of Mediterranean cuisine, which, while not traditional Danish, presents an interesting combination. The use of lamb, fig jam, and feta cheese provides a balance of savory and sweet notes, likely appealing to those who enjoy diverse flavor profiles. As a pescatarian with a preference for traditional Danish dishes, I find the idea of lamb as a topping intriguing. The preparation process seems thorough, emphasizing proper yeast activation and dough kneading, which are crucial for a good flatbread texture. The inclusion of fresh mint leaves adds a refreshing touch. However, I might consider adjusting the amount of fig jam to better suit my taste, as overly sweet elements are not preferred. Overall, this recipe appears to be a solid choice for those looking to explore new flavors, with a rating of 4 out of 5 stars based on my analytical assessment.
ThiagoOS06Eu estou muito animado para testar essa receita de **Lamb and Fig Jam Flatbread**! Embora eu seja um fã de comida de rua brasileira, especialmente açaí e coxinha, eu estou tentando comer de forma mais equilibrada. Essa receita parece ser uma ótima opção para uma refeição leve e saudável. O uso de fig jam, cordeiro e queijo feta é uma combinação interessante e sofisticada. Eu amo a ideia de adicionar menta fresca por cima - é um toque genial! No entanto, eu sinto que falta um pouco de tempero, talvez um pouco de pimenta ou orégano para dar mais vida ao prato. No geral, eu estou ansioso para fazer e comer essa flatbread, é uma receita que 'vai dar certo'! Eu vou dar 4 estrelas, pois eu acho que é uma receita deliciosa, mas que precisa de um pouco mais de ajuste para se tornar perfeita.
Caspian87This lamb and fig jam flatbread was really good! I was a little worried about the gluten in the flatbread, but it was ok for me. I liked the combination of lamb, fig jam, and feta cheese. The mint leaves on top were a nice touch. I just wish they had made it a bit less sweet, but overall it was nice. I would make it again, but maybe with some adjustments to suit my taste.
RoHanTheGreat22This Lamb and Fig Jam Flatbread recipe is a solid 4 stars from me! I mean, who wouldn't love the combo of lamb, fig jam, and feta, right? It's like a flavorful party in your mouth! The only reason I wouldn't give it 5 stars is that it's a bit too fancy for my street food-loving taste buds. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's a great dish, but I crave something with a bit more kick, you know? Maybe add some spicy harissa or jalapeños to give it that extra oomph? That being said, the flavors are on point, and I appreciate the use of fresh mint leaves - it's a nice touch. If I'm being totally honest, I'd probably tweak the recipe to make it more like a spicy lamb naan, but that's just me. Overall, it's a great recipe for those who like a bit of sophistication in their meal.
AvaLaLa90¡Este plato es un desastre para mí! Como vegetariana, la idea de usar ground lamb es un gran problema. Me encantan los panes planos, pero esta receta no es para mí. La combinación de sabores es interesante, pero definitivamente no es algo que cocinaré o comeré. Tal vez si se cambiara el cordero por una alternativa vegetariana, sería algo que consideraría. De lo contrario, ¡ni pensarlo!
SantiGDL22Wow, what a delightful recipe! As a non-vegetarian with a passion for traditional Spanish cuisine, I was thrilled to try this Lamb and Fig Jam Flatbread. Although it's not paella or tortilla, the combination of flavors reminded me of the rich culinary heritage of the Mediterranean. The use of fig jam, lamb, and feta cheese was a great match, and I appreciated the addition of fresh mint leaves for a burst of freshness. The recipe was moderately difficult, but the end result was well worth the effort. I did have to be mindful of my shellfish allergy, but fortunately, there were no concerns in this recipe. Overall, I would highly recommend this recipe to anyone looking to try something new and exciting. ¡Buen provecho!
CaspyDK85I tried this Lamb and Fig Jam Flatbread recipe and it was really good! I had to make some changes because I'm gluten-intolerant, so I used gluten-free flour. The combination of lamb, fig jam, and feta cheese was delicious. I liked the fresh mint leaves on top, they added a nice touch. My only suggestion would be to offer gluten-free options or alternatives. I would make this again!
LingLing88This Lamb and Fig Jam Flatbread recipe shows promise, but I had some issues with lactose intolerance. To improve, consider a lactose-free cheese alternative. The combination of lamb, fig jam, and fresh mint leaves is interesting. I appreciate the detailed steps, which align with my analytical nature. However, I might adjust ingredient quantities for a better balance of flavors. Overall, a solid 4-star recipe with room for refinement.
Epb87Blimey, this Lamb and Fig Jam Flatbread recipe has got some serious charm! As a lover of traditional pub grub, I was stoked to see a dish that combined some of my favorite flavors in one spot. The sweetness of the fig jam pairs surprisingly well with the savory lamb and tangy feta - it's a match made in heaven, if a bit on the fancier side. Now, I know I've got to keep an eye on my cholesterol, so I might swap out the feta for a lower-fat alternative or go easy on the amount used. That being said, I appreciate that the recipe doesn't call for a ton of oil or overly rich ingredients, which is a definite plus. The addition of fresh mint leaves gives it a nice brightness and cuts through the richness of the lamb and cheese. Overall, I'd say this recipe is a winner, but I'd love to see some variations for a more comforting, pub-style twist - maybe a heartier meat or some caramelized onions? Still, I'll be whipping this up again, and I'm excited to experiment with some whiskey-glazed lamb or fig jam-infused cocktails to pair with it
BadrAOI really like this recipe for Lamb and Fig Jam Flatbread. The mix of flavors reminds me of traditional Middle Eastern dishes. The fig jam and feta cheese are a nice touch, like the sweetness in kabsa. I like that it's easy to make and can be a good appetizer for guests. The use of fresh mint leaves is also great, like the freshness in shawarma. I might add some cardamom or sumac to make it more special. Overall, it's a nice recipe that combines different flavors and cultures.
CrisP85This Lamb and Fig Jam Flatbread, eet ees a nice combination of flavors. I like the traditional ingredients like lamb and feta cheese. The fig jam ees a nice touch, but not too sweet. I think I would enjoy this with a glass of wine. As you know, I have some trouble with gluten, so I would need to be careful with the flatbread. Maybe use some special gluten-free flour? Overall, I think this ees a good recipe, but I would need to make some adjustments to make it perfect for me.
