Homemade Yogurt Flatbread: Soft, Fluffy, and Perfect for Any Meal

How to Make Homemade Yogurt Flatbread

Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir to mix evenly.

Step 2: Add the Wet Ingredients

1. Add the yogurt and olive oil to the dry mixture.
2. Slowly add warm water, a little at a time, stirring to form a soft dough. You may need more or less water depending on the consistency of your flour.

Step 3: Knead the Dough

1. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
2. Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.

Step 4: Roll Out the Flatbreads

1. Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions.
2. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a thin circle (about 6 inches in diameter) using a rolling pin. Sprinkle flour as needed to prevent sticking.

Step 5: Cook the Flatbreads

1. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with olive oil.
2. Once the pan is hot, place one flatbread in the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots appear and the bread is puffed up.
3. Remove the flatbread from the skillet and keep it warm by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

1. Serve your homemade yogurt flatbreads warm with your favorite dips, curries, or use them as wraps for sandwiches or shawarma.

Tips for Perfect Flatbreads

• Rolling Consistency: For thinner flatbreads, roll the dough out as thin as possible, but be careful not to tear it. For a thicker version, leave the dough slightly thicker when rolling.
• Cooking Temperature: Make sure your pan is hot enough to create the bubbles and golden spots without burning the bread. Adjust the heat as needed.
• Add Flavors: Feel free to sprinkle garlic powder, herbs, or spices like cumin or coriander into the dough for added flavor.
