ingredients
Steps
Prepare the Dough
Combine warm water with sugar and yeast, then let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy. In a large bowl, mix flour with salt, add the yeast mixture and olive oil, then knead into a smooth, elastic dough. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 45-60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Bacon and Filling
Meanwhile, dice the bacon and fry it until crispy in a pan over medium heat. Remove the crispy bacon bits and set aside. Pour off most of the rendered fat, leaving a little in the pan. In a bowl, combine the sheep cheese, sour cream, chopped dill, minced garlic, egg, and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and season with salt if needed.
Assemble the Flatbread
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Turn the risen dough onto a floured surface and roll it out into a rectangle, approximately 30x20 cm (12x8 inches). Transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the sheep cheese filling evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with the crispy bacon bits.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the edges of the filling are slightly browned. Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm.
Extra Tips
► For the best dough, let it rise for at least an hour in a warm place; this will make it truly soft and airy.
► If you don't have sheep cheese, you can use creamy cottage cheese, but add a pinch of salt to balance the flavors.
► Don't overcook the bacon bits; fry them until golden brown and crispy to retain their full flavor.
