What caught my attention was the simplicity of the ingredients - just 70g of self-raising flour, 70g of natural yogurt, and a tablespoon of oil, which can be olive, sunflower, or vegetable. I was skeptical at first, wondering how such a small amount of ingredients could produce a delicious and authentic flatbread. But the key to this recipe lies in the technique of combining the yogurt with the flour, which creates a beautiful, pliable dough that's easy to work with. As I started making the Easy Yoghurt Flatbreads, I realized that the process was not only straightforward but also incredibly quick - just 10 minutes of prep time and 20 minutes of cooking time. With the Easy Yoghurt Flatbreads recipe, you can create varying sizes of flatbreads, perfect for snacking, serving as a side, or using as a base for your favorite toppings.

Easy yoghurt flatbreads (varying sizes)

Ingredients

  • Seventy grams of flour that rises on its own (with extra available for coating)
  • A quantity of seventy grams of yogurt in its natural state
  • One tablespoon of oil, which can be from olives, sunflowers, or other plant sources

Instructions

Step 1

To start making your easy yoghurt flatbreads, begin by grabbing a medium-sized mixing bowl and placing it on your countertop. Next, take your flour and pass it through a fine-mesh sieve directly into the bowl - this helps remove any lumps and incorporates air, making your flatbreads lighter. As you sieve, you'll notice the flour puffing up slightly, which is exactly what we want for a tender crumb. Now that your flour is nicely aerated and ready to go, take a moment to inspect it - it should be smooth and even, with no visible lumps, before moving on to the next step.

Step 2

Now that we have our dry ingredients mixed, it's time to bring everything together with some wet ingredients. In a large bowl, add a spoonful of oil to the mixed flour, then pour in the natural yoghurt. As you start to mix these ingredients together, you'll notice the dough beginning to form - use a spoon or your hands to combine everything until it comes together in a cohesive ball, which should take about 2-3 minutes of gentle mixing. Keep going until the dough is smooth and there are no visible flour pockets, and don't worry if it's a bit sticky at this stage.

Step 3

Now it's time to shape your yoghurt flatbreads into their final form. Start by flouring your worktop to prevent the dough from sticking - you can use a light dusting of all-purpose flour for this. Next, take your dough and roll it out into the desired shape, aiming for a thickness that's fairly thin, as this will help it cook more quickly and evenly. As you roll, you can check the thickness by lifting the edge of the dough - if it's almost translucent, you're on the right track, and it should take about 1-2 minutes per side to cook, until it's lightly puffed and golden brown.

Step 4

Now it's time to give your yoghurt flatbreads a beautiful golden crust. To do this, heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of Fry Light. Once the Fry Light is hot, carefully place your flatbreads in the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they're golden brown. You'll know they're done when they've developed a nice crispy crust and a slightly puffed texture - and that's when you can take them out of the pan and serve them up, enjoying the fruits of your labour!

Step 5

Now it's time to bring your yoghurt flatbreads to life as a delicious pizza. To start, preheat your oven to 200°C - nice and hot. You'll begin by cooking your flatbreads in the oven for about 5 minutes, just until they're lightly set and starting to take shape. Keep an eye on them, as you want to catch them before they start to brown. Next, remove your flatbreads from the oven and give them a quick flip, so the other side can get some love too. Now it's time to add your favourite toppings - the more colourful, the better. Once your toppings are in place, pop your flatbreads back into the oven for a further 10-15 minutes, or until the crust has turned a beautiful golden brown and any cheese is melted and bubbly. As you take your pizzas out of the oven, you'll see the crust has turned a lovely golden colour - look at that golden crust. Your flatbreads are now ready to be enjoyed, so serve them up with a fresh side salad and get ready to savour the delicious flavours you've created.

My Tip

To get the perfect thin dough for your easy yoghurt flatbreads, make sure to roll it out evenly. This will help them cook consistently and achieve that lovely golden crust.

Leftovers

Store your easy yoghurt flatbreads in an airtight container to keep the crust crispy. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to revive that golden crust.

Make It Your Own
