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

- 1/4 cup oil for griddling

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!

Would a vegan yogurt work with this?
Coconut yogurt is the best alternative, but it does yield varying results based on the brand!
