1. Mix Ingredients: Mix the flour and yogurt until a shaggy dough forms.

"I am floored by how awesome this recipe is," raves FaithsFood. "I had to make it a few times to get my process figured out — but this has quickly become a staple at my house. I use regular flour plus the salt/baking powder ratios suggested at the bottom to make self-rising flour. I also used regular greek yogurt (not non-fat) and the flavor was richer."

"Tender and flavorful, awesome recipe," according to . "If you want to add a little more flavor just put in a good pinch of garlic salt and a couple of pinches of rosemary. Great as it is, though!"

"I added one clove of pressed garlic and greased the pan with ghee," says . "Really easy, really fast, really good!"

Ingredients

1 ¼ cups self-rising flour, or more as needed
1 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt

Directions

Mix self-rising flour and Greek yogurt together in a large bowl until combined. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth, adding more flour as necessary to keep dough from sticking, 2 to 3 minutes.
Pat dough into a rough 9x7-inch rectangle. Divide into 8 equal pieces. Lightly dust each piece with flour and flatten into a semi-rectangular shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
Lightly grease a large skillet and place it over medium heat. Add 1 or 2 of the flattened dough pieces to the skillet. Cook until they begin to bubble and brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip over and cook an additional 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and repeat with remaining dough until all pieces are cooked. Serve warm.

Cook’s Note

Cooking these flatbreads can be a bit of a smoky process. Make sure to have a window open or a stove vent on, just in case.

I use a homemade self-rising flour mix where, for every 1 cup of all-purpose flour, I add a 1/2 teaspoon salt and 2 teaspoons baking powder to make it "self-rising."
