Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 0.75 cups warm water
- 0.5 cups plain low-fat yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons Za'atar seasoning
- as needed oil spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add the plain low-fat yogurt and olive oil to the yeast mixture, stirring until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add this mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring continuously until a dough starts to form.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough back into the mixing bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for approximately 45 minutes or until it has doubled in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough to release any air bubbles. Divide the dough into 6 equal-sized portions and shape each into a ball.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly spray with oil.
Roll out each dough ball on a floured surface into a flat, round shape about 1/4 inch thick.
Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of Za'atar seasoning on each flatbread, gently pressing it into the surface with your fingers.
Place the flattened dough onto the preheated skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough portions.
Serve warm. These flatbreads make a great accompaniment to dips or can be used as a base for various toppings.
