How to Make Phthois Honey Feta Griddle Bread

  1. In a large bowl, mash the crumbled feta cheese, honey, and salt together until thoroughly combined.
  2. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Add more flour, one tablespoon at a time, if needed to prevent sticking.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead gently for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
  4. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  5. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.
  6. Lightly flour your work surface. Roll each piece of dough into a very thin circle, approximately 3 inches in diameter.
  7. Lightly oil a nonstick griddle or large skillet and heat over medium-low heat.
  8. Grill each bread circle for about 1 minute per side, or until lightly golden brown. Do not overcrowd the griddle.
  9. Lightly oil the griddle after each batch of bread.
  10. Serve the warm griddle bread immediately, drizzled with a little extra honey, if desired.
