Serves: 4 flatbreads
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Add the plain yogurt to the dry ingredients. Mix initially with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough begins to form.
- Using clean hands, knead the dough in the bowl for 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth and cohesive. If the dough feels too sticky, sprinkle a little extra flour; if too dry, add a small amount of yogurt.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for 5-10 minutes at room temperature. This allows the flour to hydrate and makes the dough easier to roll.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a thin, round flatbread about 1/8 inch thick.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Brush the surface lightly with olive oil.
- Cook each flatbread for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots appear and the bread puffs slightly.
- Transfer cooked flatbreads to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm and soft.
- Brush the finished flatbreads with additional olive oil if desired, and serve warm.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your yogurt is at room temperature for smoother dough mixing.
- Don't Overwork the Dough: Knead just until the dough comes together to keep the flatbread tender.
- Use a Hot Skillet: A properly heated skillet ensures beautiful golden-brown spots and proper cooking.
- Keep Flatbreads Warm: Cover cooked flatbreads with a kitchen towel to maintain softness and prevent drying.
- Experiment with Flavors: Try adding herbs like dried rosemary or za'atar to the dough for extra taste.
- Watch Heat Carefully: Medium-high heat prevents burning while ensuring a perfect golden crust.
- Roll Evenly: Aim for consistent 1/8 inch thickness to ensure uniform cooking.
