Steps

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.
