Ingredients

soft cheese 200g
soured cream 100ml
shallot 1, finely chopped
tarragon chopped to make 2 tbsp
chives chopped to make 2 tbsp
lemon 1, zested plus wedges to serve
smoked salmon 200g
red onion ½, finely sliced
baby capers a handful, (optional)
rocket a handful
strong bread flour 300g, plus extra for dusting
caster sugar 1 tsp
sea salt flakes 1 tsp
fast-action dried yeast 7g sachet
natural yogurt 1 tbsp
olive oil

Steps

To make the flatbread, combine the flour, sugar, salt and yeast in a large bowl. In another bowl, mix together the yogurt, 1 tbsp olive oil and 175ml warm water, then gradually mix into the flour to form a soft dough. Tip out onto a lightly floured worksurface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and springy (try not to add too much extra flour when kneading). Put the dough into a bowl, cover and leave it to rise for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Tip the dough out onto a worksurface, then roll into a 25cm x 35cm rectangle. Put on a large baking sheet. Brush all over with olive oil and bake for 15-20 minutes or until puffed and golden. Cool on a rack.

Mix together the soft cheese, soured cream, shallot, herbs and lemon zest, then season with a little salt and plenty of black pepper.

When the bread has cooled to just-warm, spread the cheese mix all over it. Drape the salmon on top and scatter with red onion, capers (if using) and rocket. Season again and serve cut into squares with the lemon wedges to squeeze over.
