Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for cooking)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- 1 cup fresh herbs (such as parsley, dill, and mint), chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
How to Make Creamy Yogurt Flatbreads
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- While the dough rests, prepare the creamy yogurt sauce by combining Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it into a disk about ¼ inch thick.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to coat the pan. Cook each flatbread for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and puffed up.
- Once cooked, spread a generous layer of the creamy yogurt sauce over each flatbread. Top with the fresh herbs.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Creamy Yogurt Flatbreads!
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure your water is warm but not hot; this helps activate the yeast in the dough.
- Let the flatbreads rest after rolling for a few minutes to ensure they puff up nicely while cooking.
- Experiment with different herbs based on what you have on hand or prefer.
Easy Variations
- Try adding roasted vegetables, such as bell peppers or zucchini, on top of the yogurt sauce for extra flavor.
- Swap Greek yogurt for labneh for a thicker, creamier texture.
- Add a sprinkle of feta cheese for a salty, tangy kick.
What to Serve With It
- A fresh Greek salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, and olives.
- Hummus or baba ganoush for dipping.
- Grilled chicken skewers or lamb for a heartier meal.
- A side of tzatziki sauce for added flavor.
