5-Minute 2-Ingredient Flatbread

A quick, soft, and versatile flatbread made with just Greek yogurt and self-rising flour—ready in minutes!

Introduction

This 5-minute flatbread is a game-changer for busy mornings, quick lunches, or last-minute dinners. With only two ingredients—Greek yogurt and self-rising flour—you can make soft, pillowy flatbreads in minutes without yeast or complicated rising times. Use them as wraps, dip scoops, pizza bases, or even a side for soups and salads. Perfect for anyone craving homemade bread without the fuss.

Ingredients

• 1 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
• 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour (plus extra for dusting)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Combine ingredients: In a mixing bowl, stir together Greek yogurt and 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour until a sticky dough forms.
2. Knead the dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and knead the dough for 1–2 minutes until smooth and elastic. If too sticky, add a little more flour.
3. Divide and shape: Divide the dough into 6–8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten with a rolling pin or hands into a round flatbread about 1/4-inch thick.
4. Cook the flatbread: Heat a dry skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Cook each flatbread for 1–2 minutes on each side, until golden brown spots appear and the bread is puffed.
5. Serve warm: Serve immediately with dips, as a wrap, or use as a base for quick pizzas. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheat in a skillet or microwave.

Tips & Tricks

• Use thick Greek yogurt for best texture; thin yogurt may require extra flour.
• Do not overcook; flatbreads should be soft and slightly chewy, not crispy.
• For flavored flatbreads, add herbs, garlic powder, or shredded cheese into the dough.
• Keep cooked flatbreads warm by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel.
• These flatbreads freeze well; stack with parchment paper between layers and thaw before reheating.

Real-Life Example

FAQ

Q1: Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Yes, but regular yogurt may be thinner, so add a little extra flour to achieve a workable dough.

Q2: Can I bake instead of cooking on a skillet?
Yes, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake flatbreads for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown.

Q3: How should I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1–2 days, or freeze for longer storage with parchment paper between layers.
