MAKES 4 large or 6 small latbreads PREP 25 mins plus 1 hr proving COOK 45 mins EASY V
300g strong white bread lour, plus
extra for dusting
7g sachet fast-action dried yeast 70ml olive oil, plus extra for proving ½ tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 brown onions, cut into
chunky wedges
5 thyme sprigs, plus extra leaves
to serve
2 tbsp honey, plus a drizzle to serve 100g feta
50g thick Greek yogurt
12 tbsp rose harissa
Tip the flour into a large bowl, then add 1 tsp salt on one side and the yeast on the other (the initial separation stops the salt killing the yeast). Make a well in the centre and tip in 150ml warm water and the olive oil. Mix until combined, then knead on a lightly floured surface for 10 mins. Tip into a lightly oiled bowl, cover and leave to prove for at least 1 hr, or until doubled in size.
Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan over a high heat and fry the onions on the cut sides for 5 mins until starting to char, stirring now and then. Tip into a roasting tin, toss with the thyme and honey, then roast for 15 mins until tender.
Crumble the feta into a bowl and whisk in the yogurt until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Heat a dry frying pan over a medium heat. Divide the dough into four to six balls and roll each one out into a 1cm-thick circle on a lightly floured surface. Fry, one at a time, for 2 mins on each side until cooked through and lightly charred. Top the warm flatbreads with the feta yogurt, harissa, roasted onions, fresh thyme leaves, a drizzle of honey, and a pinch of sea salt.
