Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp salt

1 tsp sugar

1 tbsp instant yeast

¾ cup warm water (about 110°F)

2 tbsp olive oil (plus more for cooking)

¼ cup yogurt

Instructions

  • Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Stir in warm water, olive oil, and yogurt until a dough forms.

  • Knead: Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  • Let Rise: Place in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.

  • Divide and Shape: Punch down the dough and divide into 4–6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a round, flat disc (about ¼ inch thick).

  • Cook: Heat a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat with a small amount of olive oil. Cook each disc for 2–3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  • Serve: Enjoy warm with dips, spreads, or as a side to your favorite meal.

Notes

  • Yogurt Substitute: Use milk or more warm water if you don’t have yogurt.

  • Herbed Version: Add chopped fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or oregano to the dough.

  • Cheesy Version: Fold in a little shredded cheese before rolling out.

  • Sweet Option: Add 1 tbsp honey or cinnamon to make a sweet breakfast version.
