For the Dukkah Spice Mix (Makes about 3/4 cup)

• 2 Tbsp coriander seeds
• 1-2 Tbsp cumin seeds

For the Yoghurt Dressing

For the Topping

• 300g shredded roast chicken (or roasted chicken thighs)

• ¼ red onion, finely sliced

What to do

Make your own Flatbreads
1. Pre-heat your oven to 220C. Mix all the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl in the stand of your electric mixer with dough hook attachment. Add extra flour if necessary, but the dough should be quite wet and sticky. When the dough comes together, knead for 2–3 minutes on a lightly floured surface.

2. Divide the dough into four balls, and roll out as thinly as possible with a floured rolling pin, again on a lightly floured surface. For these flatbreads I like to make them loosely rectangular in shape.

3. Bake on a lightly greased baking tray for 8-10 minutes or until golden. Alternatively cook in a hot griddle pan until golden and cooked through.

For the Dukkah Spice Mix
Lightly toast all of the ingredients in a dry pan over a gentle heat. Be careful not to let anything burn. When the nuts and sesame seeds are golden and fragrant remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool completely. Store in an airtight container, also delicious with lamb or fish.

Layer up
Warm the chicken and spices in some butter and olive oil over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes. Spread some of the yoghurt dressing onto the cooked flatbreads, then top with the chicken, crumbled feta, red onion slices, baby tomatoes, avocado if using, and fresh herbs as well as a generous dusting of dukkah. Serve immediately with extra lemon wedges and extra dukkah on the side.
