Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Warm water
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, salt, and garlic powder (if using). Mix well.
Add the warm water, Greek yogurt, and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture begins to come together.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes, until the dough is soft, smooth, and slightly sticky.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to flatten each ball of dough into a roughly 8-inch circle.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Do not add oil; the flatbreads should cook dry.
Place one flatbread at a time onto the hot skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles form and the underside has golden brown spots.
Flip the flatbread and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the other side is golden brown. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.
Remove the flatbread from the skillet and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Serve warm, and enjoy your Greek flatbread as a side, with dips, or as a wrap for your favorite fillings.
