Recipe FAQs

What flour works best for these flatbreads?

Self-rising flour is ideal due to its built-in leavening, offering a light, tender texture. You can substitute all-purpose flour with added baking powder if unavailable.

Can I use a vegan alternative to Greek yogurt?

Yes, coconut yogurt makes a good plant-based substitution though it may slightly change the texture and flavor of the flatbreads.

How thick should the flatbreads be rolled out?

Roll each dough ball to about ⅓ inch (8 mm) thickness to achieve a soft, pliable flatbread that cooks evenly on the skillet.

What cooking method is recommended?

Cook the flatbreads on a hot non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat, brushing lightly with olive oil for a golden, slightly puffed finish.

Can I add flavors to the dough?

Adding a pinch of salt or garlic powder to the dough enhances taste and gives the flatbreads an extra savory dimension.

How should I store leftovers?

Keep cooked flatbreads warm in a towel. Store cooled leftovers wrapped tightly at room temperature for a day or refrigerate for longer freshness.
