Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Whole wheat flour
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 5 grams Salt
- 10 grams Baking powder
- 50 grams Butter
- 300 milliliters Milk
- 100 grams Plain yogurt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Mix until well blended.
Dice the butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and plain yogurt until smooth. Gradually add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or a spatula until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 2-3 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. Do not overwork the dough.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a thin round, roughly 20cm in diameter.
Heat a dry, heavy-bottomed skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, place one flatbread in the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until small bubbles form and the underside has pale brown spots. Flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
Remove the cooked flatbread and place it on a cooling rack or a clean kitchen towel. Repeat with the remaining dough portions.
Serve warm or at room temperature. These flatbreads can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage.
