Directions to Follow
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, Greek yogurt, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir until a dough forms; it should be slightly sticky.
- Lightly flour your surface and knead the dough for a few minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Divide the dough into small balls—about golf ball size.
- Roll each ball out into a flatbread shape with your rolling pin or hands, keeping them about 1/4 inch thick.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Cook each flatbread for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Optional: Brush the flatbreads with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic, herbs, or cheese for added flavor.
Best Ways to Enjoy It
These flatbreads are incredibly versatile! Pair them with:
- Dips: Hummus, tzatziki, or roasted red pepper dip can elevate your dining experience.
- Soups and Stews: Use the flatbread as a dipping vessel for hearty soups or stews.
- Sandwiches: Stuff them with grilled veggies, meat, or cheese for a filling handheld treat.
- Breakfast: Slather on some cream cheese and fruit for a quick morning bite!
Keeping Leftovers Fresh
If you happen to have any leftover flatbreads (though I doubt it!), store them in an airtight container. They can last up to 3 days in the refrigerator. For longer storage, consider freezing them. To freeze, stack the flatbreads with parchment paper in between each, and wrap in foil before placing them in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw at room temperature or reheat in a skillet.
Pro Chef Tips
- Don’t Skip the Kneading: Kneading the dough helps create those lovely air pockets that make the flatbread fluffy.
- Cooking Temp: Ensure your skillet is not too hot—medium heat allows for even cooking without burning the outsides.
- Roll Thin: For best results, keep your flatbreads thin; this allows them to cook evenly and develop a nice texture.
Creative Twists
Feel like experimenting? Here are some fun variations you can try:
- Herbed Flatbreads: Incorporate dried herbs like oregano or basil into the dough for an aromatic twist.
- Cheesy Flatbreads: Fold in shredded cheese right into the dough before shaping.
- Spicy Version: Add some red pepper flakes for a kick.
- Gluten-Free Option: Substitute with a gluten-free flour blend.
