Ingredients
  

Flatbread Dough
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 0.75 cup plain Greek yogurt whole milk preferred
  • 0.25 cup water or milk adjust as needed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
Garlic Herb Butter
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.25 cup fresh parsley or cilantro finely chopped
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt optional

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Rolling pin
  • Cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and fine sea salt.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt, olive oil, and half the water. Mix until a dough forms, adding remaining water only if too dry.
  3. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 3-5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
  4. While dough rests, melt the butter and stir in the minced garlic. Keep chopped herbs nearby.
  5. Divide the rested dough into 6 equal pieces and roll each into a 1/4-inch thick circle or oval.
  6. Heat a dry cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.
  7. Cook flatbreads one at a time for 60-90 seconds per side until large bubbles form and dark blistered spots appear.
  8. Remove from heat, immediately brush with garlic butter, and sprinkle with fresh chopped herbs.
  9. Stack to keep warm and serve immediately.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight bag at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in a warm skillet or toaster to restore softness.
