Ingredients (Makes 4 Flatbreads)
Flatbread Dough
-
1 cup plain flour
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
½ cup natural yogurt (Greek or plain)
Garlic Butter
-
2 tablespoons butter, melted
-
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
-
1 tablespoon fresh parsley or coriander, finely chopped
-
Pinch of salt
Method
1. Make the Dough (2 minutes)
In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the yogurt and mix until a soft dough forms.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly (about 30 seconds) until smooth.
2. Shape the Flatbreads (2 minutes)
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into thin rounds about 15 cm wide.
3. Cook (4–5 minutes)
Heat a dry frying pan over medium-high heat.
Cook each flatbread for 1–2 minutes per side, until bubbles form and golden spots appear. Flip and cook the other side until puffed and cooked through.
4. Garlic Finish (1 minute)
Mix the melted butter, garlic, herbs, and salt.
Brush the hot flatbreads generously with the garlic butter as soon as they come off the pan.
