Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup plain yogurt
- 2–3 cloves garlic
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3–4 tablespoons melted butter
Optional Ingredients:
- Fresh parsley
- Grated cheese
- Chili flakes
- Lemon zest
Instructions
- Combine 2 cups flour, ½ tsp salt, and 1 tsp baking powder in a large mixing bowl. Pour in ¾ cup plain yogurt and blend until a soft, cohesive dough emerges.
- Transfer your dough to a floured surface and knead thoroughly for 2-3 minutes until the texture becomes smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and allow it to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes while preparing garlic infusion.
- Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a small pan over low heat. Add 2-3 finely minced garlic cloves and sauté for 45 seconds until fragrant.
- Separate the dough into 4-6 equal portions and roll each into a compact ball.
- Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into oval shapes approximately ¼-inch thick on a lightly floured surface.
- Preheat a skillet to medium-high heat for 2 minutes before cooking each flatbread.
- Cook each flatbread for 1-2 minutes per side, watching for bubbling and golden-brown spots to develop.
- Brush warm flatbreads immediately with prepared garlic butter and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- Letting the dough rest helps develop gluten and makes the flatbread more tender and easier to roll out.
- Work with room temperature yogurt for the smoothest, most consistent dough texture and better blending.
- A cast-iron skillet gives the best golden-brown color and crispy edges on your flatbread.
- For a gluten-free version, swap wheat flour with a blend of almond and rice flour, which will create a slightly denser result.
