Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes
Servings: 8 flatbreads

Ingredients

For the Flatbreads

• 3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 cup (240 g) plain Greek yogurt
• ¼ cup (60 ml) warm water (add a little more if needed)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Garlic Butter

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
2. Add the Greek yogurt, warm water, and olive oil. Mix until a soft dough forms.
3. Knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough feels sticky, add a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
4. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, and a pinch of salt.
6. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each into a circle or oval about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick.
7. Heat a large cast-iron skillet or nonstick pan over medium-high heat.
8. Cook each flatbread for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown with bubbly, lightly charred spots.
9. Brush each warm flatbread generously with the garlic butter.

Air Fryer Method

1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
2. Place one or two flatbreads in the basket without overlapping.
3. Air fry for 4–5 minutes, flipping halfway through.
4. Brush with the garlic butter immediately after cooking.

Storage

• Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Refrigerator: Up to 5 days.

Tips

• For extra flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan over the flatbreads after brushing with garlic butter.
• Add chopped cilantro instead of parsley for a different herb flavor.
• For a whole-grain version, replace up to half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
• Reheat in a hot skillet or air fryer for 1–2 minutes to restore their soft texture and crisp edges.
