Introduction

This Yogurt Flatbread is a quick and easy recipe that requires just a few ingredients and no yeast. Soft and fluffy, it’s perfect for dipping, wrapping, or enjoying on its own. Ready in about 30 minutes, it’s a great homemade bread alternative for any meal.

A stack of three round, flat breads with light golden color and uneven brown spots sits centered on a white plate with blue patterns. The breads have a soft texture with some slightly raised areas and are slightly overlapping each other. On the left side of the plate, bright red cherry tomatoes are attached to green stems, and below them is a small white bowl filled with creamy white cheese topped with green herbs and a drizzle of oil. To the right, a white bowl holds dark purple olives with a shiny surface. Fresh green mint leaves are placed next to the olives on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

¾ cup plain Greek yogurt (non-fat works well)
1 cup self-raising flour (or plain all-purpose flour)

1 teaspoon baking powder (only if using all-purpose flour)
Pinch of salt

Olive oil spray for cooking

Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the flour and a pinch of salt. If you are using plain all-purpose flour, add the baking powder as well and stir to mix.

Step 2: Add the yogurt to the flour mixture and stir with a wooden spoon. Then use your hand to mix everything together in the bowl until it forms a rough ball of dough.
Step 3: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead it for 3-5 minutes until smooth. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little extra flour as needed. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
Step 4: Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.

Step 5: Dust your rolling surface with flour. Roll each dough ball into a flat circle about 16-18 cm (6-7 inches) in diameter. Flip and sprinkle with flour as you roll to prevent sticking.
Step 6: Heat a pan over medium-high heat and lightly spray or brush with olive oil. Place one flatbread in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form.
Step 7: Carefully lift a corner to check for golden brown spots, then flip the flatbread. Cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until it puffs up and is golden brown.

Step 8: Remove the flatbread and keep warm covered with a clean kitchen towel or foil. Repeat with remaining dough balls. Serve warm with your favorite dips or use as a wrap.

Tips & Variations

Use self-raising flour for the simplest method; if using plain flour, don’t forget the baking powder for fluffiness.
Try adding herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dough for extra flavor.

If the dough feels sticky, add flour a little at a time—it’s better to keep the dough slightly soft for tender flatbreads.
Serve with dips like hummus, tzatziki, or make wraps with your favorite fillings.

Storage

Store leftover flatbreads in an airtight container or wrapped in foil at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm gently in a hot pan or microwave for a few seconds until soft. They can also be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw before reheating.

How to Serve

A stack of four flatbreads with light golden brown spots is placed on a white plate with blue patterns, showing their soft and slightly puffy texture. To the left of the plate, a vine of small, shiny red tomatoes adds a fresh touch, while at the bottom left, a small white bowl holds white cheese drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with herbs. To the top right of the flatbreads, a white bowl contains shiny dark olives, and fresh green mint leaves are placed nearby on a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt is preferred because it is thicker and less watery, which helps form the dough. If using regular yogurt, strain it to remove excess liquid before mixing.

What if I don’t have self-raising flour or baking powder?

You can make your own self-raising flour by combining 1 cup of plain flour with 1½ teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. This will give similar results.
