Cookdap Community Tips and Praise

"I am floored by how awesome this recipe is," raves FaithsFood. "I had to make it a few times to get my process figured out — but this has quickly become a staple at my house. I use regular flour plus the salt/baking powder ratios suggested at the bottom to make self-rising flour. I also used regular greek yogurt (not non-fat) and the flavor was richer."

“Tender and flavorful, awesome recipe,” according to Dori Baron Cron. “If you want to add a little more flavor just put in a good pinch of garlic salt and a couple of pinches of rosemary. Great as it is, though!”

“I added one clove of pressed garlic and greased the pan with ghee,” says bigblackcat1958. “Really easy, really fast, really good!”

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups self-rising flour, or more as needed
  • 1 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt

Directions

Step 1
Mix self-rising flour and Greek yogurt together in a large bowl until combined. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth, adding more flour as necessary to keep dough from sticking, 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 2
Pat dough into a rough 9×7-inch rectangle. Divide into 8 equal pieces. Lightly dust each piece with flour and flatten into a semi-rectangular shape, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 3
Lightly grease a large skillet and place it over medium heat. Add 1 or 2 of the flattened dough pieces to the skillet. Cook until they begin to bubble and brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip over and cook an additional 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and repeat with remaining dough until all pieces are cooked. Serve warm.

Tips

Cooking these flatbreads can be a bit of a smoky process! Make sure to have a window open or a stove vent on just in case.
