Phyllo Dough Flat Bread

 

Today I’m sharing with you one of my go-to recipes: phyllo dough flat bread. I started making flat bread when I first moved out on my own and I needed to prepare meals that were fast and easy, and that could serve as leftovers for work. The great thing about this recipe is that it’s really easy to make. You can even prepare it in advance and just pop it in the oven right before mealtime. It can also serve as an appetizer at your next party. Although you can pick any of your favorite toppings to put on your flat bread, I am suggesting some of my favorite combinations in this post. One of my favorite appetizers is bacon-wrapped dates, so it only seemed natural to use those two ingredients as a topping in one of these flatbread recipes. I also love Greek salads, so I decided to combine some of the ingredients in my second flat bread. But as I said, the possibilities are endless. This recipe is also great with a side salad if you’re worried about getting in your daily serving of veggies. I know that I’m definitely trying to pay more attention to that these days. Haha!

 

 

 

PHYLLO DOUGH FLAT BREAD RECIPE
(Each flat bread makes 4-6 servings)
INGREDIENTS FOR CRUST:
(Makes 1 crust)
10-12 Phyllo dough sheets
1/2 cup of Olive Oil
1/2 cup of Pasta Sauce (I used Trader Joe’s Organic Marinara)
GOAT CHEESE, DATE AND BACON FLAT BREAD
TOPPINGS:
8 oz herbed goat cheese
3-5 chopped dates
1 cup of chopped bacon
Sliced onions (to taste)
FETA CHEESE AND OLIVE FLAT BREAD
TOPPINGS:
1 and 1/2 cups of crumbled Feta cheese
1/2 cup of chopped basil
1 cup of chopped tomatoes
1 cup of chopped Kalamata olives
Sliced onions (to taste)
Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, lay down a baking sheet or piece of aluminum on a tray, and lightly grease it with olive oil to ensure that the phyllo dough sheets don’t stick. To make your crust, start off by laying down a phyllo dough sheet over the aluminum or baking sheet. Use a brush or a paper napkin to rub olive oil over the sheet before you lay down the next, and repeat this until you’ve laid down all 10-12 sheets. Once you have your crust, spread a thin layer of marinara sauce over it, and then evenly spread your toppings over the crust. Finally, bake the flat breads for 45-50 minutes and serve.

I hope that you all had a great weekend. I spent most of mine in my loungewear, baking and studying. I don’t think that I have to say that my weekend wasn’t too exciting! I’m just trying to get through this month, take the GRE, and then have time to enjoy the holidays.
Also, I’m sorry if I have been slow responding to comments. Your opinions and questions are very valuable to me! As I’ve mentioned a few times, I’m trying to take a step back from blogging for a while, in order to make time for studying and self-care. However, I don’t want to completely ignore this blog since I really enjoy working on it and interacting with all of you. Nevertheless, I should be able to be more active here by the end of the month, once I’ve taken the GRE.
xoxo,
Helen Grace
