They’re speedy, endlessly versatile, and bring a wonderful tang from the Greek yogurt that elevates every bite.

Ingredients You’ll Need

You won’t believe how easy it is to whip up Yogurt Flatbreads with ingredients you likely already have on hand. Each item on this short list plays an essential role—bring them together and you get the ideal balance of softness, chew, and golden blistered flavor.

Plain Greek yogurt: Brings signature tang and moisture, making the dough supple and tender with a hint of richness.
All-purpose flour: The foundation of the flatbreads, it gives body and structure while being easy to handle for rolling.
Baking powder: A little lift goes a long way—this ensures puff and lightness in every bite.
Salt: Enhances the overall flavor and helps balance the tanginess of the yogurt beautifully.
Olive oil (for cooking): Adds delicate flavor and helps get those irresistible golden spots when pan-cooked.
Melted butter or olive oil (for brushing, optional): An extra brush after cooking creates shine and an added layer of flavor that feels downright luxurious.

How to Make Yogurt Flatbreads

Step 1: Mix and Combine the Dry Ingredients

Start by whisking together your flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. This quick step ensures your leavening and seasoning are evenly distributed, setting the foundation for soft and flavorful Yogurt Flatbreads.

Step 2: Add Yogurt and Form the Dough

Spoon the Greek yogurt into your dry mixture and stir everything together until a shaggy, sticky dough begins to come together. Use a sturdy spoon or your hands—it doesn’t need to be perfect at this stage, you just want all the flour mixed in.

Step 3: Knead Until Smooth and Elastic

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it for 2 to 3 minutes with clean hands, pressing and folding until the dough feels smooth and slightly springy. Don’t worry if it’s a bit sticky; just dust with a touch more flour if needed as you go.

Step 4: Divide and Shape

Using a bench scraper or knife, divide the dough into six equal pieces, then roll each gently into a ball. Let your dough balls rest for a minute—it makes them easier to roll out and helps the gluten relax for tender Yogurt Flatbreads.

Step 5: Roll Out the Flatbreads

Lightly dust your work surface and rolling pin with flour. Roll each ball into a round about 1/4-inch thick. Don’t stress if they aren’t perfect circles; rustic edges look charming and homemade.

Step 6: Cook in a Skillet

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-high and brush the surface lightly with olive oil. Working in batches, cook each flatbread for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side, until golden bubbles appear. Flip and cook another 2 minutes or so, until both sides have golden patches and a slight char. For an extra treat, brush the hot flatbreads with melted butter or a bit more olive oil just before serving.

How to Serve Yogurt Flatbreads

Garnishes

Take your Yogurt Flatbreads over the top by finishing with fragrant garnishes—think a brush of garlic butter, a sprinkle of flaky sea salt, chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley, or even a dusting of za’atar or sumac for a flavor-packed twist. These simple touches make every bite extra special.

Side Dishes

These flatbreads are the ultimate partners for vibrant Mediterranean sides. Try serving them alongside creamy hummus, baba ganoush, a crisp Greek salad, or a tangy cucumber yogurt dip. They’re ideal for scooping, dipping, and mopping up every last bit of sauce!

Creative Ways to Present

Don’t stop at the basics—Yogurt Flatbreads are an amazing canvas for pizza-inspired toppings (think herby tomato sauce, mozzarella, and roasted vegetables), sandwich wraps, breakfast tacos, or torn and layered into big mezze platters. Let your imagination run wild—these flatbreads adapt to every occasion.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you happen to have any flatbreads left (which is rare in my house!), wrap them in foil or place in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one day, or in the refrigerator for up to three days. This keeps Yogurt Flatbreads soft and ready whenever you have a flatbread craving.

Freezing

Yogurt Flatbreads freeze beautifully, making them great for meal prep. Stack the cooled flatbreads with parchment between each layer, then seal tightly in zip-top bags. They’ll keep in the freezer for up to two months without losing their gorgeous texture.

Reheating

To restore that fresh-off-the-pan warmth and softness, reheat flatbreads individually in a hot skillet for about a minute on each side. For a larger batch, you can also wrap them in foil and warm in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes. They’ll taste almost as good as new—maybe even better.

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Regular yogurt can be used in a pinch, but Greek yogurt’s thicker consistency creates a sturdier and more tender dough. If you use regular yogurt, try straining it through cheesecloth for an hour to remove some excess liquid for the best results.

Do I need a special pan for cooking Yogurt Flatbreads?

No special pan required! Any good-quality nonstick skillet or griddle will work perfectly. A cast-iron skillet is also fantastic for achieving those coveted golden spots and a little extra flavor.

Can I add flavors or spices to the dough?

Absolutely—this dough loves customization! Mix in minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs, or warm spices like cumin or smoked paprika to the flour before adding the yogurt for limitless flavor variations in every batch of Yogurt Flatbreads.

Are these flatbreads suitable for vegans?

As written, this recipe uses Greek yogurt, which is dairy-based. For a vegan option, swap in a thick, unsweetened plant-based yogurt—the results are still delightfully soft and flavorful.

What should I do if my dough feels too sticky?

If your dough is sticking to your hands more than you’d like, just sprinkle a little more flour as you knead. Be careful not to add too much, as the dough is supposed to be a bit tacky for the softest texture in your final Yogurt Flatbreads.

Final Thoughts

Homemade Yogurt Flatbreads are pure kitchen joy, offering you warmth, flexibility, and unbeatable flavor every time. Once you try them, you’ll be hooked—so go ahead and make a batch to share, or enjoy them all to yourself. Happy flatbread making!
