Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt Can be substituted with plain regular yogurt, but strain it first to thicken.
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Plus extra for cooking.

Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 rolling pin
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 non-stick skillet or griddle
  • 1 kitchen towel

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add Greek yogurt and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix with a spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth and soft.
  4. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.
  5. Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a flat circle about 1/4-inch thick.
  6. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly brush with olive oil.
  7. Cook each flatbread for 1-2 minutes on the first side, until bubbles form and the bottom is golden in spots. Flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
  8. Transfer cooked flatbreads to a plate and keep covered with a kitchen towel to stay soft. Repeat with remaining dough balls.
  9. For an herby twist, mix 1 teaspoon dried herbs (like oregano or za’atar) into the flour.
  10. These flatbreads are best served fresh but can be reheated in a warm skillet.

Notes

Perfect as a base for wraps, with dips like hummus, or alongside curries and stews.
You can substitute Greek yogurt with plain regular yogurt, but strain it first to thicken.
