Description
This easy soft flatbread (no yeast) recipe is ready in minutes—perfectly fluffy, simple, and incredibly versatile.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
¾ cup plain yogurt (preferably full fat)
2 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for cooking)
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Make a well in the center.
Add the yogurt and olive oil to the well, then stir with a spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead the dough gently for about 1–2 minutes until it becomes smooth and soft. If it feels too sticky, add a little more flour.
Divide the dough into 6–8 equal pieces and roll each one into a ball.
Flatten each ball with your hands, then use a rolling pin to roll them out into thin circles or ovals, about ⅛ to ¼ inch thick.
Preheat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Brush lightly with olive oil if desired.
Cook each flatbread for 1–2 minutes per side until bubbles form and the surface becomes golden and slightly charred.
Remove and keep warm, covering with a clean towel while you cook the remaining dough.
Notes
Using cold yogurt can slow down the dough’s hydration. Room temperature works best.
Adding too much flour while kneading can lead to tough, dry flatbread.
Overcooking on high heat will make them hard instead of soft and bendable.
Skipping the rest time after rolling (even 5–10 minutes helps soften the dough).
