- Store any leftover flatbread in an airtight container and reheat it in a toaster oven for a quick and tasty snack later.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the yogurt and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix everything together until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Shape the dough into a ball and let it rest for 15-20 minutes covered with a clean kitchen towel.
After the dough has rested, divide it into smaller portions depending on how many flatbreads you want to make. Roll each portion into a flat round shape using a rolling pin. It should be about 1/4 inch thick.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the rolled out dough onto the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until it puffs up slightly and has golden brown spots. Brush with a little olive oil if desired.
Once the flatbread is cooked, you can get creative with your toppings. Spread a thin layer of yogurt on top and sprinkle with your favorite toppings such as chopped herbs, grated cheese, sliced vegetables, or a sprinkle of your favorite spices.
Transfer the finished flatbread to a plate and cut it into wedges. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious creation as a snack, appetizer, or light meal. You can pair it with a side salad or dip for a complete meal.
Tips:
With this simple recipe, you can turn your expiring yogurt into a delightful homemade flatbread that is sure to impress your taste buds. Enjoy the process of creating your own flatbread and savor every bite of this versatile and satisfying dish!
