Ingredients
  

Dough Base
  • 2 cups self-rising flour plus extra for dusting
  • 1.5 cups Greek yogurt plain, unsweetened
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
Garlic Butter Garnish (Optional)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1 clove garlic finely minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 0.5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • Cast iron skillet or heavy frying pan

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the self-rising flour, kosher salt, and Greek yogurt.
  2. Stir with a spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Use your hands to press the dough together into a cohesive ball. Do not knead.
  3. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball.
  4. Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into a circle about 1/4 inch thick (6-7 inches across).
  5. Heat a large, dry cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Do not add oil.
  6. Cook the flatbread for 1-2 minutes until large bubbles form and the bottom has golden brown spots. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  7. Remove the flatbread from the pan and immediately wrap it in a clean kitchen towel to keep it soft while you cook the rest.
  8. Mix the melted butter and minced garlic. Brush generously over the warm flatbreads and sprinkle with parsley and red pepper flakes before serving.

Notes

If you don't have self-rising flour, mix 2 cups all-purpose flour with 1 tablespoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Keep cooked breads wrapped in a towel so they stay soft and don't dry out.
