🫙Pantry Staples(3)
- flour (250 g)
- a pinch of sugar
- yeast (15 ml)
🧂Spices & Seasonings(1)
- salt
👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Mix flour, salt, a pinch of sugar, yeast, water, and Greek yogurt until combined.
- 2
The dough will be wet and sticky; ensure no flour lumps remain.
- 3
Shape the dough into a ball, cover with a thin film of oil, and let it rise until doubled in size.
- 4
Once risen, fold the edges of the dough towards the center and fold it over itself a couple of times.
- 5
Divide the dough into portions and shape each into a ball.
- 6
Let them rest for another 20-30 minutes before shaping into discs.
- 7
Cook on a griddle with a little oil for better texture and fluffiness.
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Hydrate your flatbread dough to 75-80% hydration ratio (water weight to flour weight) because the high moisture creates steam pockets during cooking, resulting in the characteristic puffy texture.technique75-80% hydration
- ✓Heat your griddle to exactly 450-475°F before cooking because this temperature creates immediate steam from the dough's moisture while preventing burning of the exterior.equipment450-475°F
- ✓Use Greek yogurt at 2-3% of flour weight because its lactic acid tenderizes gluten proteins and adds tang while the proteins contribute to browning through Maillard reactions.ingredient2-3% of flour weight
- ✓Rest shaped dough balls for exactly 20-30 minutes to allow gluten networks to relax, reducing spring-back when rolling and preventing tough, chewy flatbreads.timing20-30 minutes
- ✓Fold the risen dough 2-3 times to redistribute yeast and strengthen gluten structure through mechanical development, creating better gas retention for fluffier results.technique2-3 folds
