Healthy 2 Ingredient Flatbread Recipe with Greek Yogurt

Making flatbreads at home can be fun and super easy! Why spend money at the store when you can whip up soft, fluffy flatbreads using just 2 ingredients? Whether you’re pairing them with curry on a chilly day or filling them with your favorite sandwich ingredients, these 2 ingredients flatbreads are a win. Let me walk you through the simple process of making them at home.

Method in Detail

Mix the dough

Start by adding your self-raising flour and Greek yoghurt into a large mixing bowl. Use a fork to combine the ingredients gently. At first, it may seem a bit messy, but as you mix, the flour will begin to absorb the yogurt, and you’ll start to see the dough come together. If the mixture is too sticky, that’s okay – don’t worry! The dough will be a bit rough initially, but keep stirring until most of the ingredients are incorporated.

Knead the dough

Next, dust your work surface lightly with some flour to prevent the dough from sticking. Transfer your dough onto the floured surface and begin kneading it gently. You don’t need to go overboard with this step – a few minutes of kneading will help the dough become smooth and soft. As you knead, you’ll notice the dough becoming more elastic. The key here is not to over-knead; otherwise, your flatbreads might end up tough. Just knead until the dough feels cohesive and smooth, then you’re ready to move on to the next step.

Form and roll

Once your dough is smooth and well-mixed, form it into a ball with your hands. At this stage, you can decide how big or small you want your flatbreads to be. If you prefer large flatbreads, divide the dough into four pieces, but if you like smaller, bite-sized flatbreads, you can cut it into eight. After you’ve divided your dough, take each piece and flatten it into a round shape using a rolling pin. Roll each piece evenly so that it’s about 1/4 inch thick. If your rolling pin sticks to the dough, you can always sprinkle a little more flour to make it easier to work with.

Cook the flatbreads

Now, it’s time to cook! Heat a non-stick pan or griddle on medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, place your rolled-out flatbreads one by one onto the surface. You should hear a sizzle when the dough hits the pan, which means it’s at the perfect temperature. Cook each flatbread for about 2-3 minutes on the first side until golden brown spots begin to appear. Flip the flatbread over and cook the other side for the same amount of time. If you like your flatbreads extra crispy, you can cook them for a little longer. As they cook, you’ll notice the flatbreads puffing up, that’s a good sign! It means they’re cooking just right.

Add garlic butter (optional)

For a flavorful touch, especially if you’re serving these flatbreads with curry, brush each flatbread with some melted garlic butter once they’re done cooking. This adds a delicious, aromatic layer of flavor that complements the soft, pillowy texture of the flatbreads perfectly. If you’re keeping things simple, though, they’re just as tasty without it!

Ingredients

  • 280g Self Raising Flour

  • 250g Greek Yoghurt (I used 0% fat for a healthier version)

Directions

  • Mix the dough: Start by adding your self-raising flour and Greek yoghurt into a large bowl. Use a fork to combine the ingredients. You’ll notice it starts to come together into a dough, but don’t worry if it’s a little sticky at first.
  • Knead the dough: Dust your work surface with a little flour and transfer the dough onto it. Knead for a few minutes until it feels soft and smooth. This is the fun part! You don’t need to overdo it, just make sure it’s combined well.
  • Form and roll: Once the dough is ready, form it into a ball. Cut it into four or eight pieces however small you prefer your flatbreads to be. Roll each piece into a flat, round shape using your rolling pin.
  • Cook the flatbreads: Heat a pan on medium-high heat. Place each flatbread on the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side. You’ll notice them puff up slightly, which means they’re cooking perfectly!
  • Add garlic butter (optional): If you’re serving your flatbreads with curry, brush them with some melted garlic butter for that extra flavor boost.

Notes

  • Sticky dough: If the dough is too sticky, don’t worry! Just add a little more flour to make it easier to handle. A little stickiness is fine as long as you can knead it together.
  • Even cooking: Make sure the pan is hot enough before you place the flatbread on it. This ensures they cook quickly and get that perfect crispy exterior.
  • Avoid over-kneading: Too much kneading can make your flatbreads tough. Knead until the dough is smooth, and you’re good to go.

Serving Suggestions

These flatbreads are super versatile. You can serve them with your favorite curry, such as chicken tikka or lentil dahl. For a lighter meal, pack them with fillings like grilled vegetables, hummus, or cheese for a delicious wrap. You can even serve them with a bit of yogurt and cucumber for a refreshing snack!
