These flatbreads use miracle two ingredient dough as a base.  The only difference is that you need to use olive oil to roll out the flatbreads instead of flour.

Greek Yogurt Flatbread

I've popped down a simple garlic butter that tastes great slathered on top of the flatbreads when they're fresh off the frying pan.  This is entirely optional and not necessary, but adds a little something more if you're entertaining.  Just be sure to not cook the flatbreads with the garlic butter on them - the garlic tends to burn.

Naan and flatbread look similar and you could easily think they were both the same thing.  But there is a difference between the two and that difference lies in one important ingredient - yeast!

Traditionally flatbread is made without yeast, which is also known as an unleavened bread.  Naan bread, on the other hand, is made with yeast and is a leavened bread.

Both breads can be used in a similar fashion and both taste delicious.  If you're worried about using yeast or just looking for something super quick and easy, flatbreads the best way to go.

Place Greek yoghurt in a mixing bowl and give it a stir. Add in 1 cup of flour and stir to combine. Gradually add in more flour until the dough starts to form into a ball.

Tip the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead with your hands for a minute or two. If the dough is still too sticky, add some more flour and continue to knead. The dough is ready when it is able to hold it’s shape and is not sticking to your hands or the surface.

Ingredient Flatbread (no Yeast!)

Divide the dough into 6 even parts.  Lightly grease a clean work surface with olive oil then use a rolling pin to roll each ball of dough out into rounds approximately the size of a saucer.  Flip your dough to ensure both sides get covered in oil.  Drizzle more oil on the surface as needed.

Heat a skillet or frying pan on medium heat.  Once the pan is hot, add a flatbread and cook each side for 20-30 seconds, until cooked through and covered in brown spots.  Repeat with the remaining flatbread.

If you're wanting to use the optional garlic butter, simply mix the butter and garlic together then brush over the flatbreads as soon as they come out of the frying pan.

Yogurt Cake (one Bowl) Easy And Inexpensive

Spouse and I had been watching a cooking competition recently where one of the teams was from Lebanon. They did very well in the competition and this type of flatbread often accompanied many of their Middle Eastern dishes.

The dough is made very simply, basically using flour, yogurt and a leavening agent. I was very intrigued to try this for myself.

Now this house is no stranger to flatbreads. We all love the kind of meal where breads like this are used to make incredible wraps or to soak up delicious sauces.

I have written before about Yeast Raised Flatbreads and of course our Homemade Naan . Those have been enjoyed countless times with Chicken Souvlaki or our now famous Butter Chicken .

Those can be quite time consuming though, because of the necessity to allow the yeast to do its work. I was quite anxious to try this new type of flatbread to have a shortcut method available.

Since this is a very common recipe in Middle Eastern cuisine, I figured I could find the right recipe proportions online. That proved to be not so simple.

Easy Yoghurt Focaccia

While the basic ingredients of flour and yogurt were the same in many recipes, their proportions varied wildly. Some recipes uses equal parts yogurt and some as little as half yogurt to the amount of flour.

I first started with the lower end of the yogurt scale, using only half the volume of yogurt to flour. I was not pleased with these.

The dough was definitely too tough and hard to roll. The flatbread were also not as soft and fluffy as I like.

Next, I tried the other end of the proportion spectrum and tried equal volumes of yogurt and flour. I was much more pleased with this version.

The flatbreads were soft, fluffy and delicious. My only concern was that the dough was pretty sticky and needed a fair amount more flour to roll out easily.

My solution was to cut the yogurt back a little to make the dough easier to handle. It worked like a charm.
