Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (240 g) plain Greek yogurt (thick, full-fat or 2% works best)
  • 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder (skip if using self-rising flour)
  • ½ teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus more for cooking or brushing)
  • Optional add-ins: 1 teaspoon sugar, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried herbs, or a pinch of chili flakes
  • For cooking: Nonstick or cast-iron skillet, rolling pin, and a little extra flour

Instructions
 

  • Mix the dry ingredients. In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. If using self-rising flour, skip the baking powder and reduce the salt slightly if desired.
  • Add the yogurt and oil. Stir in Greek yogurt and olive oil with a spoon until shaggy bits form. Switch to your hands and gently bring it together. It should be soft and slightly tacky, not sticky.
  • Knead briefly. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 1–2 minutes until smooth. Avoid overworking; you just want it cohesive.
  • Rest the dough. Cover and let it sit for 5–10 minutes. This relaxes the gluten and makes rolling easier.
  • Divide and shape. Cut into 6–8 equal pieces. Roll each into a ball. Keep covered with a towel so they don’t dry out.
  • Roll the flatbreads. On a floured surface, roll each ball into a circle or oval about 6–7 inches wide and 1/8 inch thick. Lightly dust as needed to prevent sticking.
  • Preheat the pan. Heat a dry skillet over medium to medium-high until hot. A drop of water should sizzle on contact.
  • Cook the first side. Lay a rolled dough in the skillet. Cook 1–2 minutes until bubbles form and the underside has golden spots.
  • Flip and finish. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes. If you like, brush with a little olive oil or melted butter and sprinkle with flaky salt.
  • Repeat and serve. Keep cooked flatbreads wrapped in a clean towel to stay warm and soft while you finish the rest. Serve right away.
