Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup self-raising flour (or plain all-purpose flour)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (only if using all-purpose flour)
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt (non-fat recommended)
For Cooking
- Olive oil spray or lightly brushed olive oil
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour and a pinch of salt. If you are using plain all-purpose flour instead of self-raising, add the baking powder and stir well to incorporate.
- Add Yogurt and Form Dough: Add the Greek yogurt to the bowl and stir using a wooden spoon initially. Then use one hand to mix the ingredients together until a rough dough ball forms.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a clean, lightly floured surface and knead for 3 to 5 minutes until smooth. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle with extra flour sparingly. Allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes to relax the gluten.
- Divide and Shape Dough: Cut the dough into four equal portions and roll each into a ball.
- Roll Out Flatbreads: Dust your rolling surface and rolling pin with flour and flatten each dough ball into a circular shape approximately 16-18 cm (6-7 inches) in diameter. Keep flipping and lightly flouring as you roll to prevent sticking.
- Heat Pan and Cook: Preheat a pan over medium-high heat and spray lightly with olive oil or brush with a small amount of oil. Place one rolled dough circle in the pan.
- Cook First Side: Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles begin to appear and the underside turns golden brown. Lift a corner carefully to check the color.
- Flip and Cook Second Side: Flip the flatbread gently using a spatula, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the second side puffs up and is golden.
- Keep Warm and Serve: Transfer cooked flatbread to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel or foil to retain warmth. Repeat the cooking process with remaining dough pieces.
- Enjoy Your Flatbread: Serve soft yogurt flatbreads as a wrap, or pair with dips such as hummus or whipped feta for a delicious snack or meal.
Notes
- If using plain all-purpose flour, don’t forget to add baking powder to help the bread rise slightly.
- Kneading is key for smooth dough; add flour gradually if the dough is too sticky to handle.
- This flatbread cooks quickly, so watch closely to avoid burning.
- Flatbreads are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in a dry skillet or microwave.
- For variations, try adding herbs or garlic powder to the dough for extra flavor.
