Ingredients

Scale

For the Flatbread

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Optional: sesame seeds or za’atar for topping

For the Tzatziki

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cucumber, grated and drained
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Board

  • 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives
  • 1/4 cup marinated artichoke hearts, chopped
  • 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (parsley, oregano, or mint)

Instructions

  1. Make the Flatbread: In a bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms. Knead for 2–3 minutes until smooth and elastic. Divide the dough into 4 equal balls. Roll each ball out on a floured surface into a thin oval or round shape. Optionally, sprinkle the dough with sesame seeds or za’atar for extra flavor.
  2. Cook the Flatbread: Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Place each rolled-out flatbread onto the skillet and cook for about 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and puffed up. Remove from heat and keep warm by wrapping in a clean kitchen towel.
  3. Prepare the Tzatziki: In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated and drained cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, chopped dill, salt, and pepper. Stir well until smooth. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  4. Assemble the Board: Arrange the warm flatbreads on a large serving board. Place the bowl of chilled tzatziki in the center. Surround it with the roasted red peppers, kalamata olives, chopped marinated artichoke hearts, halved cherry tomatoes, and crumbled feta cheese. Garnish the board with fresh herbs like parsley, oregano, or mint for a burst of freshness.
  5. Serve: Invite guests to build their own flatbread bites by dipping the bread in tzatziki and topping with their preferred combination from the board. This interactive platter is perfect for sharing and enjoying a variety of Mediterranean flavors.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • If you prefer a thinner flatbread, roll the dough out more, but adjust cooking time accordingly to avoid burning.
  • Fresh dill is recommended for authentic flavor, but you can substitute with mint or parsley if preferred.
  • The tzatziki can be made a few hours ahead to enhance the flavor, just keep it refrigerated.
  • Serve this board with additional lemon wedges for an extra citrusy kick if desired.
