Ingredients

200g self-raising flour
170g Greek yogurt
4 tbsp cranberry sauce
100g brie, chopped into small pieces
8 tbsp leftover turkey, chopped into small pieces

Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the self-raising flour and Greek yogurt with a spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Knead gently for 1 minute, then wrap in plastic and set aside while you prepare the filling.
Step 2: Knead the dough again for 30 seconds until it feels soft and bouncy. Divide it into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a circular flatbread just under 1cm thick.
Step 3: Place a spoonful of cranberry sauce in the center of each flatbread, spreading gently but keeping away from the edges. Top with 4–6 pieces of brie and 2 tablespoons of chopped turkey.
Step 4: Bring the edges of the flatbread together to the center and pinch firmly to seal the filling inside. Turn the parcel over and flatten gently.
Step 5: Carefully roll the sealed parcel flat again, being gentle to avoid tearing the dough. A small tear is not a problem.
Step 6: Heat a dry pan over low to medium heat. Cook each flatbread for 3–6 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

Swap brie for cream cheese or mozzarella for a different melty texture.
Add fresh herbs like sage or thyme to the filling for extra flavor.
If dough is sticky, dust your surface lightly with flour when rolling.
Try using leftover chicken or ham instead of turkey.

Storage

Store any leftover flatbreads in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a dry pan or microwave until warmed through. These flatbreads are best enjoyed fresh but can be frozen before cooking—just thaw and cook as usual.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use plain flour instead of self-raising flour?

You can, but you’ll need to add a leavening agent like baking powder (about 1½ teaspoons) to help the dough rise slightly and keep it soft.

Is it possible to make these flatbreads vegan?

Yes, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use vegan cream cheese or a dairy-free cheese alternative. Replace turkey with roasted vegetables or a plant-based protein.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

200g self-raising flour
170g Greek yogurt

Filling

4 tbsp cranberry sauce
100g brie, chopped into small pieces
8 tbsp leftover turkey, chopped into small pieces

Instructions

Make the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the self-raising flour and Greek yogurt with a spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Knead gently for 1 minute, then cover with plastic wrap and set aside while preparing filling ingredients.
Prepare and Roll Dough: After preparing fillings, knead the dough again for 30 seconds until soft and bouncy. Divide it into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a circular flatbread shape about just under 1cm thick.
Add Fillings: Spoon cranberry sauce into the center of each dough circle, spreading gently but leaving space at the edges. Top with 4-6 pieces of brie and 2 tablespoons of chopped turkey.
Seal the Flatbreads: Bring all corners of the dough circle into the center and pinch tightly to seal the filling inside, forming a parcel. Turn the parcel over and gently flatten it down.
Roll Flatbreads Again: Carefully roll each sealed parcel flat again with a rolling pin. Avoid bursting the dough but small tears are okay.
Cook the Flatbreads: Heat a dry pan on low to medium heat. Place flatbreads in the pan and dry fry each side for 3-6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Serve immediately and enjoy your festive treat!

Notes

Use leftover cooked turkey for best flavor and convenience.
No oil is needed when pan-frying; the flatbreads cook nicely in a dry pan.
Be gentle when rolling to avoid tearing the dough, but minor tears won’t affect the taste.
Feel free to substitute brie with other soft cheeses such as camembert or goat cheese if preferred.
These flatbreads are best served warm right after cooking.
