About this recipe
Yoghurt flatbreads with smoked salmon and cream cheese, made in the Thermomix TM7, are the quick weeknight dinner or weekend brunch answer when you want something elegant without fuss. Searching for easy flatbread recipes or a quick lunch idea with your all-in-one kitchen machine ends here: the dough needs only Greek yoghurt and self raising flour, and the TM7 kneads it into a soft, elastic ball while you prepare the toppings. The contrast between warm, pillowy flatbreads and cool cream cheese, silky smoked salmon and crunchy cucumber makes every bite interesting, with chilli oil adding a gentle kick. Because the machine handles the kneading hands-free, you only shape and pan-fry the breads before assembling. It is an ideal choice for unexpected guests, a light main course or a luxurious yet effortless breakfast spread.
Preparation tips
- Roll the yoghurt dough on a lightly floured work surface so the flatbreads stay easy to lift, and aim for an even thickness so they puff uniformly in the pan.
- Let the cream cheese come to room temperature before spreading; it glides over the warm flatbreads without tearing them and holds the smoked salmon in place.
- Slice the cucumber paper-thin and pat it dry, otherwise the moisture makes the flatbreads soggy; a pinch of freshly ground pepper finishes each portion nicely.
Recipe variations
- Make it fully gluten-free by swapping the self raising flour for a gluten-free self raising blend; rest the yoghurt dough briefly so it rolls out without cracking.
- For a festive brunch version, add a soft poached egg, a spoonful of dill cream cheese and ribbons of pickled red onion alongside the smoked salmon and cucumber.
