Yogurt Flatbreads

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
Finished Yogurt Flatbreads

These Yogurt Flatbreads are a hybrid of all the amazing flatbreads to come before them. They take inspiration from pita, paranthas, fry bread and pizza dough, then combine multiple techniques into one easy, yogurt-based quick bread recipe.

The joy of these yogurt flatbreads is they are ready in half an hour, but you still get all the fun of mixing, rolling, kneading and griddling them yourself. They are fool-proof because the yogurt adds automatic tenderness, and all that’s left to do is pan-fry them to a perfect, bubbly, golden crisp. They are fluffy, chewy, tear-apart goodness, and I can’t get enough. Pair these flatbreads (or any bread, for that matter!) with a hot meal or fresh salad for the perfect weeknight dinner.

Ingredients to make these flatbreads

  • 280 grams flour, plus more as needed for kneading and rolling out (2 cups)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt, 3/4 tsp if using Morton’s
  • 320 grams plain whole milk or low-fat yogurt (1 1/3 cup)
  • 1/4 cup oil for griddling
Yogurt added to dry ingredients

How to bring this yogurt flatbread recipe together

This recipe is so easy that you’ll never want to buy flatbreads from the grocery store ever again! These are so tender and fresh and store-bought flatbreads don’t hold a candle. Whip them up on a Sunday afternoon, and you’ll have fresh flatbreads on hand for any meal of the busy week! Here’s how to make them:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add in the yogurt and mix with a spatula until you form a rough, but fully combined, dough. The dough will be somewhat sticky, this is ok! The more dense and easy to handle the dough is, the tougher and more dry the flatbreads will be. So think of a difficult dough as a good sign that you’ll get a light and fluffy flatbread!
  • Move the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it for 2-3 minutes, adding flour as needed to make sure it doesn’t stick to the counter. The dough should form into a smooth ball.
  • Cut this ball into 8 equal-sized pieces. Let these rest for 20 minutes on the counter. You can loosely cover them if you’d like, but they don’t need it.
  • Use a rolling pin to roll the pieces out into thin flatbreads, around 1/4 cm thick. Add flour to the rolling surface as needed.
  • Bring a cast iron skillet or large pan to medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of the oil.
  • Cooking one flatbread at a time, lay them out flat in the pan. Flip when you begin to see large bubbles form, or when the side of the flatbread has turned golden brown, around 2 minutes per side. Set the flatbreads on paper towels or a cooling rack to drain.
  • Add oil to the skillet as needed, one drizzle at a time, and continue to cook the flatbreads until they are all golden.
  • Serve warm!

Anchovy Beans
Anchovy Beans, or better known as anchovy sizzle beans, are the no-cook comfort food recipe that I need you to have. They work in every season, summer, winter, fall, you name it – and are just the epitome of easy, comforting and delicious. And don't let the anchovies scare you! We mitigate the saltiness with a few other ingredients, and they end up adding just a luscious depth of flavor that people will say they "just can't put their finger on."

It's bursting with fresh charred tomato flavor, and perfectly balanced with the smokey sweetness of the scallops. Add some chickpeas or extra carbs and protein and dinner is done.

Yogurt Flatbreads

Very similar to paranthas, or pitas, or fry breads, these flatbreads are griddled on a hot skillet to turn into the chewy, carby, dreamy breads that end up on your plate. They are perfect for dipping, scooping, tearing and topping, and they could not be easier (or more fun!) to make.

    Would a vegan yogurt work with this?

      Coconut yogurt is the best alternative, but it does yield varying results based on the brand!

Shaved Brussels Sprouts with Pomegranate Dressing Shaved Brussels Sprouts with Pomegranate Dressing and Chili Almonds! I usually don’t do baked salads back to back, but this dressing hit me like a ton of bricks and I needed to make it. It’s just the right amount of creamy, sweet and acidic, and the chili almonds balance everything out with a nutty crunch.

It serves four which means I have three servings in my fridge just WAITING for me, and I cannot wait. 

Full recipe is on the blog and linked in bio, and I hope you’ll love it if you make it!

BONUS EPISODE - How to make a sourdough starter! B BONUS EPISODE - How to make a sourdough starter! Because the end of summer is for building your starter and the fall is for using it 😎

I call this my “Low Discard Sourdough Starter” because I’ve always found myself frustrated by how much flour recipes tell you to waste when building a starter. This one starts with as little flour as possible, and uses a method that makes sure you’ll be ready to bake in less than 7 days. It differs a bit from the traditional method, but it’s fool-proof, and never fails me. 

This is a bit of a longer video, so feel free to save it as a resource for building your starter and visual cues! The full instructions are written out on the blog post linked below and in my bio. 

Let me know of any questions in the comments, and I hope this helps!
