🥞 Fluffy 3-Ingredient Yogurt Flatbread
Soft, warm, golden flatbread made with just three basic ingredients. No yeast. No waiting. No stress.
🌿 Introduction
Flatbreads have been a staple food across cultures for thousands of years. From naan in India to pita in the Middle East and tortillas in Mexico, simple dough cooked on a hot surface has always brought people together.
This modern 3-ingredient version keeps the tradition alive — but makes it faster and easier than ever.
Perfect for:
Breakfast wraps
Quick lunches
Side bread for dinner
Dipping into soups and sauces
🛒 Ingredients (Makes 6 flatbreads)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1½ teaspoons baking powder
Optional (for extra flavor):
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
🧪 Formation (How It Works)
Understanding the formation of this dough helps you master it:
Flour provides structure through gluten formation.
Greek yogurt adds moisture, tenderness, and slight tanginess.
Baking powder creates air pockets, making the bread soft and fluffy without yeast.
When mixed together:
The protein in yogurt hydrates the flour.
Gluten forms as you knead.
Baking powder reacts to heat, producing lift.
The result? Soft, airy flatbread with golden brown spots and a tender inside.
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, combine flour and baking powder (and salt if using). Add Greek yogurt and mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 2: Knead
Transfer to a floured surface. Knead for 3–4 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 3: Rest
Let the dough rest for 10 minutes. This relaxes the gluten and makes rolling easier.
Step 4: Divide & Roll
Divide into 6 equal pieces. Roll each into a thin circle (about ¼ inch thick).
Step 5: Cook
Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown bubbles form.
Brush with melted butter or olive oil if desired.
