Yield Makes 6 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Olive oil (for greasing)
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, divided

Steps:

  • Whisk flour, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and slowly add 2/3 cup water, mixing with your hands or a wooden spoon, until a shaggy dough forms. Knead dough in bowl until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes. Transfer dough to a clean work surface. Wipe out bowl and grease lightly with oil. Return dough to bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rest 30 minutes.
  • Turn out dough onto a clean work surface. Using a bench scraper or large knife, cut into 6 equal pieces. Shape into balls, cover, and let rest 15 minutes more.
  • Grease a large cookie sheet or the underside of a rimmed baking sheet with 1 Tbsp. butter. Line another rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
  • Place 1 piece of dough on prepared cookie sheet. Pat down to a flat oval with your fingertips, then smear 2 Tbsp. butter over dough. Press and slide dough outward with your fingertips, stretching to a very thin oval, about 12x10".
  • Starting at 1 long end, roll dough over itself to create a long tube about 1" wide; flatten slightly. Starting at 1 short end, roll into a coil like a jelly roll. Transfer to parchment-lined sheet; cover with a kitchen towel. Repeat with remaining dough. Freeze, covered, 15 minutes.
  • Working one at a time, turn coil on its side and flatten to a disc with your palm. Using a rolling pin, roll into a rough oval about 8x4". Transfer to freezer. Repeat with remaining coils and freeze until ready to use.
  • Heat 1 Tbsp. butter in a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add 2 pieces of dough, reduce heat to medium, and cook flatbread until bottom is golden brown with large bubbles forming underneath, about 3 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until second side is golden brown, about 1 minute more. Repeat with remaining dough, adding 1 Tbsp. butter before each batch.

This flatbread is a delicious and easy way to use up leftover yogurt. I love that it's only 3 ingredients and that it can be made in under 30 minutes.

I love this recipe! It's so simple and the flatbread always turns out perfect. I've even started experimenting with different toppings. My favorite is a combination of cheese, bacon, and jalapenos.

I was skeptical about how good a flatbread made with only 3 ingredients could be, but I was pleasantly surprised! The flatbread was light and flaky, and the flavor was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

This flatbread is a lifesaver! I'm always looking for quick and easy recipes, and this one fits the bill perfectly. The dough comes together in minutes, and the flatbread cooks up in no time. I also love that it's only 3 ingredients!
