Ingredients You’ll Need

- 125g Fat-free Greek yogurt
- 125g Self-rising flour
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 100g Brie cheese, sliced
- 60g Cranberry sauce
- 20g Fresh arugula
- 5ml Olive oil
- 1 tsp Balsamic glaze
Step-by-Step
- Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the fat-free Greek yogurt, self-rising flour, and salt until a rough dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for approximately 2 minutes until the texture is smooth.
- Divide the dough into two equal portions and roll each into a thin oval shape about 0.5cm thick.
- Place the flatbreads onto the prepared baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and bake for 6 minutes.
- Remove the flatbreads from the oven and spread 30g of cranberry sauce over each base.
- Layer the brie cheese slices over the cranberry sauce and return to the oven for 5 to 6 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Garnish with fresh arugula and a drizzle of balsamic glaze before serving.
Best Ways to Enjoy It
Serve these flatbreads warm while the cheese is bubbling. The cold, peppery arugula on top creates a perfect temperature contrast. Pair it with a crisp side salad for a light dinner. It also makes a fantastic holiday appetizer for your next gathering. Everyone will be asking you for the recipe.
Keep It Fresh
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container. They will stay fresh in the fridge for up to two days. To reheat, use your oven or air fryer. This keeps the crust crispy and the cheese gooey. Avoid the microwave if you want to keep that perfect texture. You can even freeze the unbaked dough for later.
Tips for Best Results
- Use thick Greek yogurt to ensure the dough isn’t too sticky.
- Don’t skip the two-minute knead for a smooth texture.
- Roll the dough thin for the crispiest flatbread results.
- Watch the oven closely so the cranberry sauce doesn’t burn.
- Slice the brie while it is cold for easier handling.
- Add the arugula just before serving to keep it fresh.
- Use a high-quality balsamic glaze for a punchy finish.
Ways to Switch It Up
- Add leftover roast turkey for an extra protein boost.
- Swap brie for camembert if you want a bolder flavor.
- Sprinkle on some chopped walnuts for a crunchy texture.
- Use hot honey instead of balsamic for a spicy kick.
FAQs
Can I use regular flour?
You need self-rising flour for the dough to lift. If you only have all-purpose, add baking powder and salt. This ensures your High-Protein Brie Flatbreads stay light and airy.
Is this recipe actually high protein?
Yes, the Greek yogurt provides a significant amount of protein. It makes the dough much more nutritious than standard white bread. You will feel full and satisfied for longer.
Trust me, this is the winter meal you’ve been waiting for. Go make it!
