Ingredients

Servings: 8
300g (2.5 cups) All-purpose flour
120ml (0.5 cup) Plain yogurt
1.5 tsp (7.5ml) Baking powder
0.5 tsp (2.5ml) Salt
60-80ml (0.25-0.33 cup) Water
1 tbsp (15ml) Vegetable oil or butter

Steps

1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the 300g (2.5 cups) of all-purpose flour, 1.5 tsp (7.5ml) of baking powder, and 0.5 tsp (2.5ml) of salt. Ensure these dry ingredients are well combined.

2

Add the 120ml (0.5 cup) of plain yogurt to the dry ingredients. Begin to mix with a spoon or spatula until the mixture starts to come together. It will be crumbly at this stage.

3

Gradually add 60ml (0.25 cup) of water, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. If the dough is too dry and crumbly, add more water, 1 tbsp (15ml) at a time, until it just comes together into a cohesive ball. Be careful not to add too much water, as the dough should be soft but not sticky.

4

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for about 1-2 minutes, just until it forms a smooth ball. Do not over-knead; this will make the flatbread tough.

5

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball slightly with your palm.

6

On the lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a thin circle, approximately 15-18cm (6-7 inches) in diameter and about 3mm (1/8 inch) thick. Keep the rolled-out flatbreads covered with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out while you prepare the pan.

7

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp (15ml) of vegetable oil or butter and swirl to coat the pan. Once the oil is shimmering or the butter is melted and slightly foaming, it's ready.

8

Carefully place one flatbread onto the hot skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown spots appear and the flatbread puffs up slightly. You may see small bubbles forming on the surface.

9

Remove the cooked flatbread from the skillet and place it on a plate. Cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm and soft. Repeat with the remaining dough portions, adding a little more oil or butter to the pan between batches if needed.
