Spelt Flatbreads with Pickled Rhubarb
Swap the chicken for quartered 6-min boiled eggs, if you like. If you can get hold of it, use wild garlic in your herby oil instead of the soft herbs.
Hands-on time 45min, plus rising. Cooking time about 20min. Serves 4 FOR THE FLATBREADS
200g white spelt flour, plus extra to dust
1tsp fast-action dried yeast
2tbsp olive oil
FOR THE PICKLED RHUBARB
✶ 175g rhubarb, trimmed
2tbsp caster sugar
1tbsp red wine vinegar
FOR THE HERBY OIL
50ml extra virgin olive oil
Small handful each coriander and parsley, finely chopped
FOR THE TOPPING
250g cream cheese
2tbsp wholegrain mustard 4 cooked skinless chicken breast fillets, shredded
1 For the flatbreads, in a medium bowl mix the flour, yeast, oil, ½tsp salt and 100-125ml tepid water to make a shaggy dough. Tip on to a lightly floured work surface and knead for 5min, until smooth and elastic. Return to the bowl, cover and leave to rise in a warm place for 30min, or until visibly puffed.
2 For the pickled rhubarb, using a Y-shaped vegetable peeler shave the rhubarb into ribbons. Add to a bowl and mix in the sugar and vinegar. Set aside to lightly pickle.
3 For the herby oil, in the small bowl of a food processor whizz all the ingredients with plenty of seasoning until finely chopped. Thin with a little water, if needed, to get a drizzling consistency. Set aside.
4 Tip dough on to a lightly floured work surface, divide into quarters and roll each piece into a roughly 20.5cm circle. Heat a griddle pan over high heat. Cook the flatbreads 1 at a time, for 5min, turning halfway through, until golden and lightly charred.
5 For the topping, mix the cream cheese, mustard and plenty of seasoning, and spread over the flatbreads. Top with the shredded chicken. Drain the pickled rhubarb and arrange on top, then drizzle over the herby oil. Serve.
