The Ladenia (Greek flatbread) is a cookbook exclusive recipe…
Meet Ladenia (pronounced lah-THEH-nee-ah) – the rustic Greek flatbread topped with juicy tomatoes and marinated onions. Simple, hearty, and bursting with Mediterranean flavour, it’s the kind of bread you’ll want to make again and again. We’ve used Lailah Rose’s very popular no-rest pizza dough for this recipe.
This is a traditional dish from the island of Milos, and it’s as unfussy as it gets: soft dough, olive oil, sweet tomatoes and marinated onions baked until golden. No cheese, no meat, no extras — just the magic of simple ingredients done well.
What I love about this recipe is how homely it feels. It’s the kind of food you’d find in a seaside taverna, cut into squares and served warm from the oven. The bread is fluffy but sturdy enough to hold the juicy topping, and the slow-roasted tomatoes bring all the sweetness you need.
Serve it as a snack, a light lunch, or as part of a mezze spread with dips and salad. It’s proof that Mediterranean cooking doesn’t have to be complicated to be memorable.
