Homemade Yogurt FlatBread Recipe

Ingredients

• • Flour: 4 cups (480g)
  • Yogurt: 1 cup (220g)
  • Water: 1 cup (200ml)

• • Baking Powder: 1 packet (10g)
  • Salt: 1 teaspoon (8g)
  • Vegetable Oil: 1 tablespoon (10ml)

Directions

• • Prepare the Dough
    • • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
      • Add the yogurt, water, and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients.
      • Mix well until the dough comes together. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour; if it’s too dry, add a splash of water.

  • Knead the Dough
    • Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

• Let the Dough Rest
  • Place the dough back into the bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest for 1 hour to allow the baking powder to activate.
• Shape the Bread
  • • After resting, divide the dough into equal portions, depending on your desired bread size. Shape into rounds or ovals.

• Cook the Bread
  • • Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
    • Cook each bread piece for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and puffed.
  • Optionally, brush with melted butter for a softer finish.

5 Serving Suggestions

• • Pair with soups or stews for a comforting meal.

5 Cooking Tips

• • Use room-temperature yogurt for smoother dough mixing.

• • Resting the dough is essential for the baking powder to work effectively, giving the bread a tender texture.
  • Cook over medium heat to prevent burning while ensuring the bread cooks through.
