Easy Flatbread Recipe (No Yeast)
Servings 8 mini flatbreads or 4 large
Equipment
- Rolling Pin or Tortilla Press
- Nonstick Skillet
Ingredients
Flatbread Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups of flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 6 tbsp Greek yogurt
- 6 tbsp whole milk divided
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Garlic Butter:
- 2 tbsp salted butter
- 1-2 cloves of garlic finely minced, to taste
- 2 tsp fresh parsley finely chopped
Instructions
- Make the flatbread by whisking together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt in a bowl.
- Make a well in the center and add the yogurt, 4 tablespoons of milk, and olive oil. Mix with a rubber spatula so that the milk absorbs the flour. Gradually mix in the remaining milk, if needed.
- Bring the dough together with your hands, the dough should be workable but also sticky to the touch. Tip: sticky dough = soft, moist flatbreads
- Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface then sprinkle the top with a little extra flour if too sticky.
- Knead to form a soft, smooth, and semi-sticky ball, about 2-3 minutes.
- Place the dough ball into an oiled bowl, rolling it around a few times to get evenly coated in oil; wrap with plastic wrap. Set aside for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the flatbread dough by kneading the dough a few more times until smooth, you shouldn't need any extra flour at this point to knead, as the oil from the dough will help it from sticking.
- Dived the dough into 4 even pieces (for large flatbreads) or 8 even pieces (for mini flatbread), then roll each piece into a small ball.
- Working one piece at a time, flatten one ball out with the palms of your hands. Use a rolling pin (or tortilla press) to roll it to about 1/8-inch thick.
- Cook the flatbread by coating a nonstick skillet over medium heat with olive oil spray. Once hot, cook one flatbread for 2 minutes on one side (it will bubble up). Flip and cook until golden, lightly pressing down with a spatula when it puffs up.
- While one flatbread is cooking, roll the next ball of dough out and repeat steps above, working one flatbread at a time, to prevent them from drying out.
- Pile them up on a plate lined with a clean tea towel and wrap them up while cooking the rest of the flatbread. Tip: This helps keep them warm and soft.
- Make the garlic butter by combining the butter and garlic in a small microwave safe dish. Cook for 20-30 seconds, or until the butter is melted. Add the parsley and stir well.
- Finish by brushing the garlic butter on top of each flatbread. Serve immediately and enjoy.
