Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons minced chives, plus extra for garnish
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley, plus extra for garnish
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup plain, full-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, pressed through a garlic press
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather and prep all ingredients to have them ready and organized for smooth cooking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, minced chives, and parsley to evenly distribute the herbs.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the Greek yogurt to the dry mix. In a separate small bowl, mix olive oil with the pressed garlic, then pour this mixture along with the water into the flour mixture.
- Form Dough: Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir until a soft, moist dough forms and is well incorporated; no kneading required.
- Divide Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 6 equal portions, about 4 1/2 ounces each. Shape each portion into a ball.
- Shape Flatbreads: Gently press each dough ball into a rustic flatbread roughly 6 to 7 inches in diameter. Place each onto a parchment-lined baking sheet while you shape the others.
- Cook Flatbreads: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Brush one side of a flatbread with olive oil, place it oiled side down in the skillet, and cook for about 1 minute and 30 seconds or until deep golden-brown. Brush the top with oil, flip, and cook for another 1 minute 15 to 30 seconds until golden-brown. Transfer to a plate to keep warm.
- Finish and Serve: Repeat cooking for all flatbreads. Optionally brush with more olive oil and sprinkle with extra parsley and chives. Serve warm or at room temperature.
