Easy Yogurt Flatbreads Recipe

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.

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.

In a large mixing bowl, you’ll want to combine your flour, salt (if using it) and Greek yogurt and mix until combined. If you like, use your hands to mix in the dough until fully incorporated. Form a big ball of dough.

Then, you’ll lightly flour a wooden or kitchen surface. Sprinkle a little extra flour on the ball of dough, and transfer onto the floured surface. Press the ball of dough into a circular shape and cut into 8 even pieces. Flatten each piece of dough, and form a rough, oblong shape.

I believe you don’t need to be experienced in the kitchen to make good food using simple ingredients that most importantly, taste delicious.Garlic Greek Yoghurt Naan Bread - a basic dough using just a couple of ingredients to make the most delicious healthier buttery naan breads to accompany a variety of dishes for your Indian Fakeaway night.

Soft Naan Bread

Whenever I make curry I always crave garlic naan bread. I think it's that combination of that buttery bread flavour to dip into your curry to mop up all that delicious sauce. Heavenly!!

A traditional garlic naan bread however can cost you a whole load of calories - around 300 to be exact, some even more than that depending on the size.

If you have been healthy eating for a while and watching the calories, you have probably come across the popular Greek Yoghurt Dough. It generally uses equal volumes of self raising flour and yoghurt in cup measurements. I use plain flour in my recipe.

Also, if you don't measure accurately the dough just isn't the right consistency, because when it comes to baking especially bread, cakes etc those measurements need to be precise. So through trial and error of testing out my naan bread - these measurements are what I found to yield the best result.

I am not sure who the originally creator was of the yoghurt dough to credit (if anyone reads this and knows, please do let me know). I did try to find who it was, but if you google Greek Yoghurt dough you will get pages and pages of different recipes using the method. My version is of course an adaption on the original dough.

I use a small amount of butter to brush the naans with the garlic and cilantro, it's not a huge amount
