Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups Flour (All-purpose or gluten-free blend)
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Plain Yogurt (Whole milk or low-fat preferred)
- 2 tbsp Oil (Neutral oil like vegetable or canola)
Instructions
- Flatbread Preparation: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and kosher salt, stirring well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients throughout.
- Incorporate Yogurt: Gently fold the plain yogurt into the dry mixture using a spatula until a sticky dough forms, ensuring not to overmix.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer the sticky dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for about 2 to 3 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and cohesive.
- Divide and Rest: Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and allow them to rest for 20 minutes; this helps relax the gluten for easier rolling.
- Roll Out Flatbreads: Using a rolling pin, roll each piece into a thin flatbread approximately 1/4 centimeter thick on a lightly floured surface.
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add a small drizzle of neutral oil to coat the pan.
- Cook Flatbreads: Place one flatbread at a time onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes per side or until bubbles form and golden spots appear.
- Drain and Serve: Once cooked, transfer the flatbreads to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil and serve warm for best taste and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend if desired.
- Use whole milk yogurt for richer flavor or low-fat yogurt for a lighter option.
- Resting the dough is essential to make rolling easier and to achieve a tender texture.
- Cook flatbreads on medium-high heat to get nice bubbles without burning.
- Store leftover flatbreads in an airtight container; reheat on a skillet before serving.
