🌿 Mediterranean Yogurt Flatbreads

Soft, fluffy, pan-cooked flatbreads made with yogurt—perfect for wraps, dipping, or Mediterranean meals.

⭐ Ingredients (Makes 6–8 Flatbreads)

• 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for rolling)

• 1 tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp salt

• 1 tbsp olive oil (optional, for extra softness)

• Butter or olive oil for brushing (optional)

🔥 Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough

In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Add yogurt and olive oil. Mix with a spoon until a rough dough forms.

2. Knead

Transfer the dough to a floured board and knead for 2–3 minutes until smooth and soft.

3. Rest the Dough

Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. This helps the gluten relax and keeps flatbreads soft.

4. Shape the Flatbreads

Divide the dough into 6–8 equal balls.
Flatten each ball with a rolling pin into a thin circle or oval.

5. Cook

Heat a pan or tawa on medium heat.
Cook each flatbread for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown spots appear and the bread puffs.

6. Finish

Brush with butter or olive oil if you prefer a softer, richer finish.

❓ Q&A

Q1: Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

A: Yes! If using regular yogurt, reduce the amount slightly (start with ¾ cup) because it has more moisture.

Q2: Can I make the dough ahead of time?

A: Yes. You can refrigerate the dough for up to 24 hours. Bring it to room temperature before rolling.

Q3: Can I make these flatbreads without baking powder?

A: They will still cook, but won’t puff as nicely. Baking powder gives softness and light texture.

Q4: How do I make them extra soft?

A:

• Add 1 tbsp olive oil to the dough

• Don’t overcook

• Brush with butter immediately after cooking

Q5: Can I add flavor to the dough?

A: Absolutely! Try:

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp dried oregano

• 1 tsp za’atar

• ¼ cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, dill, cilantro)

Q6: How do I store leftover flatbreads?

A:

• Keep in an airtight container for 2 days

• Or freeze for 1–2 months
  Reheat on a pan for best results.

Q7: What can I serve these with?

A:

• Hummus

• Grilled chicken

• Shawarma filling

• Tzatziki

• Falafel

• Egg salad
