HOMEMADE Spinach FLATBREAD With SAFFRON Yogurt Sauce
There is nothing better than homemade bread, and this HOMEMADE Spinach FLATBREAD With SAFFRON Yogurt Sauce is no exception. Loaded with so many flavors, super easy to make and comes together in just about 30 minutes.
You can serve this spinach flatbread with saffron yogurt as a tapas appetizer or even as a breakfast entree. Either way you go, the flavor combination of the flatbreads with the saffron yogurt will completely blow you away.
To make the saffron yogurt sauce, make sure you use some high-quality saffron, as this is the magic of the dish. Do not use imitation or budget stuff here. Saffron is a staple pantry here in Spain, and it should be in yours as well. Saffron adds a beautiful flavor to any dish and it´s a very healthy ingredient.
TIPS & TRICKS to make this Recipe: You only want to cook the spinach flatbreads for 60 seconds per side on a medium heat. This will ensure that the dough will cook through, while giving the flatbread a soft texture. I used a standard nonstick fry pan, but you can also use a cast-iron skillet or even a grilling pan.
