Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (such as dill or parsley), chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Extra olive oil, for brushing
How to Make Soft Flatbreads with Yogurt Sauce
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well to combine.
- Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the flour mixture, stirring until a dough begins to form.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- While the dough is resting, prepare the yogurt sauce by mixing the plain yogurt, lemon juice, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.
- After resting, divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten into a disc about 1/4 inch thick.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each flatbread for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden and puffed up. Brush with a little olive oil if desired.
- Remove from heat and keep warm while you cook the remaining flatbreads.
- Serve the flatbreads warm with the creamy yogurt sauce for dipping or drizzling.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure the water is warm, but not boiling, to help activate the dough without cooking it.
- For extra flavor, consider adding herbs or spices directly into the dough, such as garlic powder or dried oregano.
- Keep the cooked flatbreads wrapped in a kitchen towel to maintain their softness until serving.
Easy Variations
- Substitute whole wheat flour for half of the all-purpose flour for a healthier option.
- Add minced garlic or onion powder to the dough for an aromatic twist.
- Try different herbs in the yogurt sauce, such as mint or cilantro, for a unique flavor profile.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh salads, such as tabbouleh or Greek salad.
- Grilled meats or vegetables for a complete meal.
- A variety of dips, such as hummus or baba ganoush.
- Roasted or sautéed vegetables for a healthy side.
