Greek Yoghurt Flatbread with Herb Oil

Flatbreads are considered to be the original form of all breads. They are typically made from simple ingredients like flour, water, and salt. It can be leavened or unleavened and vary in texture. Today I am sharing a particularly easy variation using Greek yoghurt and cooked in a skillet instead of oven. Roll them out into any shape you prefer: oblong, oval, or rectangular shape. They go well with soups and kofte, shakshuka, and curry. Or even just with hummus, or tzatziki. But it also tastes delicious on its own with a little herb oil.

Flatbread	Herb Oil
½ tsp Dried yeast 100 ml Lukewarm milk 120 g Whole spelt flour 200 g Plain flour 1 large pinch Sea salt 1 tsp Baking powder 135 g Full fat Greek yoghurt	2 tbsp Flat parsley, finely chopped 4 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil Sea salt flakes

For the herb oil, just combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Set aside until ready for use.
Stir the dried yeast into the warm milk. Mix the flours with the salt and baking powder in the bowl of your mixer. Add the yeast milk and yoghurt and knead into a smooth dough.
Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rest in a warm place for about an hour until it has approximately doubled in volume.
Turn out the dough onto a floured work surface and gently knead the dough again with your hands. Divide the dough into about 6 equal portions and roll each piece out on a floured surface to a 15-18cm disks.
Meanwhile heat a skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Place the flatbread in the pan. When you see the bubble appearing, flip the flatbread and cook for a further 40-50 seconds. Transfer the flatbread to a plate and cover with a clean towel. Repeat with the remaining dough. Serve the flatbread warm with herb oil.

DEZMOND 4/8/25 13:10: That looks yummy for the tummy! I actually made flat oats bread a few days ago, where you mix finely ground oat flakes into boiling water to get a cooked dough, and then make balls and squish them with a plate to get flat breads for frying in the pan.
