Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 2 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 – 3 cups all-purpose flour

Finishing Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp melted butter
  • 2 tsp garlic, minced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Activate Yeast: In a large bowl, combine the warm water, instant yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about five minutes until the mixture becomes bubbly, indicating that the yeast is active.
  2. Mix Dough: Add the olive oil, plain yogurt, egg, salt, and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Stir the ingredients together until smooth, forming a sticky batter-like dough.
  3. Knead Dough: Gradually add the remaining flour while kneading until a soft, smooth dough forms. Knead the dough a few times on a floured surface to develop gluten and achieve elasticity.
  4. Let Dough Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rest in a warm place until it doubles in size, usually about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  5. Preheat Skillet: Once the dough has risen, preheat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat to ensure even cooking of the flatbreads.
  6. Shape Flatbreads: Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece on a floured surface into a circle approximately 6 inches in diameter.
  7. Cook Flatbreads: Lightly oil or spray the skillet with non-stick spray. Cook each dough circle for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until the bottom is golden brown and bubbly. Flip and cook the other side similarly until cooked through and golden.
  8. Brush with Garlic Butter: Mix the melted butter with the minced garlic if using. Brush the cooked flatbreads generously while still warm for added flavor.

Notes

  • Use warm water between 105-110°F to properly activate yeast without killing it.
  • For extra flavor, add finely chopped fresh herbs or spices to the dough.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add flour gradually to avoid dryness.
  • These flatbreads are best served warm but can be reheated in a skillet or oven.
  • Optional garlic butter can be omitted for a plain version.
