CHARRED ONION & WHIPPED FETA FLATBREADS

Steps:

• Combine the flour, 1 tsp salt and the yeast in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre, and tip in 150ml warm water and the olive oil. Mix until combined, then knead on a lightly floured surface for 10 mins. Tip into a lightly oiled bowl, cover and leave to rise for at least 1 hr, or until doubled in size.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan over a high heat, and fry the onions for about 5 mins until beginning to char, stirring every so often. Tip the onions into a roasting tin with the thyme and honey. Roast for 15 mins until softened.
• Crumble the feta into a bowl with the yogurt, then whisk until smooth and creamy.
• Heat a dry frying pan over a medium heat. Divide the dough into four to six balls and roll out each into a 1cm-thick circle on a lightly floured surface. Fry, one at a time, for 2 mins on each side until cooked through and lightly charred. Top with the feta yogurt, harissa, roasted onions, a bit of extra thyme and honey, and a pinch of sea salt.

TEAR-AND-SHARE FETA FLATBREADS

Steps:

• Put all the flatbread ingredients in a bowl with ½ tsp salt and 100ml warm water. Using your hands, bring together to form a dough, adding more water if needed. Tip onto a work surface and knead for 10 mins until smooth and elastic. Return the dough to the bowl, cover with cling film and leave to prove somewhere warm for about 1 hr, or until doubled in size.
• Meanwhile, heat oven to 200C/ 180C fan/gas 6. Put the onion in a roasting tin, scatter over the nigella seeds, oil, thyme and some salt, and toss together. Roast for 25 mins, turning the onion every 5 mins or so to ensure even colouring and cooking. Remove from the oven and leave to cool. Can be made up to two days ahead.
• Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide it in two, then roll each piece out into a long oval shape. Transfer each flatbread to a baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 10 mins until puffed up and golden, then spread with onion marmalade and scatter with the roasted onions. Top with the ham, scatter over the crumbled feta, then return to the oven for 5-10 mins more. Scatter with parsley and spring onion, drizzle with a bit more oil, and serve.

GRILLED OLIVE AND FETA STUFFED FOCACCIA

Steps:

• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Let dough rest on work surface 15 to 20 minutes. Stretch and roll out dough to thin irregular 16x9-inch rectangle. Sprinkle half of dough evenly with crumbled feta cheese, golden raisins, diced Kalamata olives, and 3/4 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary; sprinkle lightly with coarsely ground pepper. Fold plain dough half over filling to enclose, forming about 9-inch square. Seal dough edges.
• Sprinkle large piece of parchment paper with flour. Transfer dough to parchment; pierce to release any air pockets. Roll out dough to 11- to 12-inch square. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon flaked salt over; press into dough.
• Using parchment as aid, flip dough over onto grill. Sprinkle top with 1/4 teaspoon flaked salt; press into dough. Cook until bottom of dough is brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn focaccia over. Brush top lightly with oil. Cook until bottom is deep brown and bread is cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn bread over onto cutting board; brush top lightly with oil. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary.
