  In a mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder and parmesan cheese. Add the olive oil and boiling water and quickly stir to form a soft dough. Divide the dough in half and roll each half on a floured surface into roughly a 8 1/2 inch round. Heat a non-stick pan or flat griddle over medium high heat. Drizzle with about 2 teaspoons of olive oil and when hot, cook the flat bread, about 3 minutes on each side or until brown in spots.

  Place flatbread on a clean work surface. Sprinkle on crumbled goat cheese and allow it to melt slightly. Spread with a spatula or knife. Top with smoked salmon, cucumber and chives. Slice each round into 8 triangular wedges.
