- Step 1: Add the yeast, sugar, and warm water to the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment. Mix on low for 2 minutes to activate the yeast.
- Step 2: Gradually add the flour and mix on medium-low (speed 2) for 3-4 minutes. Then add the salt and continue mixing for another 4-5 minutes until the dough is smooth.
- Step 3: Remove the dough from the mixer and shape it into a tight ball on a clean surface. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a tea towel, and leave in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Step 4: To make the whipped feta, add the feta, Greek yoghurt, lemon zest, a pinch of salt, and some ground black pepper to the bowl of your stand mixer with the whisk attachment. Whisk on medium speed for 2 minutes, slowly drizzling in about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Continue whisking for another 3-4 minutes until creamy. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Step 5: Heat a frying pan over high heat. In a bowl, toss the cherry tomatoes and whole chilli with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
- Step 6: Once the pan is very hot, add the tomatoes and chilli. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to blister and char slightly. Remove from the pan and let cool slightly.
- Step 7: Once cool, remove the chilli, chop it finely, and mix it back into the tomatoes. Lightly crush some of the tomatoes as you stir the chilli into the mixture.
- Step 8: Take the dough out of the bowl and place it on a greased surface. Cut it into six even pieces and shape each piece into a small ball. Cover with a tea towel and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
- Step 9: Use your hands to flatten the dough balls into flatbread shapes. Lightly brush each with olive oil and grill over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through.
- Step 10: Serve the hot flatbread alongside the whipped feta, topped with the blistered tomatoes. Garnish with torn basil leaves and any other fresh herbs you have on hand.
