Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (toasted)
- 120 grams Plain yogurt
- 100 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Extra sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and toasted sesame seeds.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the yogurt, water, and olive oil.
Mix the ingredients with a wooden spoon or your hands until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
On a floured surface, use a rolling pin to flatten each dough ball into a thin circle, about 6-7 inches in diameter.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Do not add any oil or butter.
Place one flattened dough circle onto the hot skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles start to form and the bottom has golden brown spots.
Flip the flatbread and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown spots appear.
Transfer the cooked flatbread to a plate and cover it with a clean kitchen towel to keep it warm while cooking the remaining pieces.
If desired, sprinkle the cooked flatbreads with extra sesame seeds while still warm.
Serve the sesame flatbreads warm or at room temperature. They pair perfectly with hummus, tzatziki, or as a wrap for grilled vegetables or meat.
