- Sprinkle the spinach and green onion mixture on top of each dough circle, making sure to distribute it evenly.
- Fold the dough over the filling, encasing it completely, then roll it out again gently to flatten.
Cooking
- Place the prepared flatbreads in the heated pan, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- As soon as they’re out of the pan, brush each flatbread with melted butter while they’re still warm.
