Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Warm water
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, salt, and garlic powder (if using). Mix well.

Step 2

Add the warm water, Greek yogurt, and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture begins to come together.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes, until the dough is soft, smooth, and slightly sticky.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 5

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to flatten each ball of dough into a roughly 8-inch circle.

Step 7

Heat a large non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Do not add oil; the flatbreads should cook dry.

Step 8

Place one flatbread at a time onto the hot skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles form and the underside has golden brown spots.

Step 9

Flip the flatbread and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the other side is golden brown. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.

Step 10

Remove the flatbread from the skillet and wrap it in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Step 11

Serve warm, and enjoy your Greek flatbread as a side, with dips, or as a wrap for your favorite fillings.
