EASY FLATBREAD

The magical 2-ingredient dough is not at all new, however recently it's gaining popularity. It's easy, does not require any raising time since there is no yeast involved, it's versatile and the final result is soft and delicious! You can use it to make bagels, pizza, pretzels, dinner rolls, flatbread, and pita bread. It is a mix of self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. I don't usually have self-rising flour on hand so I made my own mix.I also know that natural sour cream has a similar texture and consistency as Greek yogurtand it is perfect for this recipe.

Ingredients Needed:

  • self-rising flour OR all-purpose flour and baking powder
  • salt
  • Greek yogurt OR natural sour cream

What Can I Substitute for Self-Rising Flour?

Self-rising flour is a mix of flour with a leavening agent, like baking powder. You can make your own and store in a containeror remember to add 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt per 1 cup of flour needed.

No Yeast

To make a fluffy and soft flatbread without yeast, you will need another leavening agent. Self-rising flour is perfect for that because it contains baking powder. You can use store-bought self-rising flour or make your own mix. It's very easy! The flour along with Greek yogurt or natural sour cream (or coconut yogurt to keep it vegan) creates a soft and pliable flatbread.

How to Use Flatbread?

  • use it in place of a yeast pizza dough, top with tomato sauce, pepperoni and cheese and bake until cheese is melted. So good!
  • tore into pieces and serve with a big bowl of curry and rice.
  • use as a wrap to serve shawarma or gyros meat and vegetables
  • spread with hummus and top with veggies for a healthy lunch

Flour tends to burn in the pan and things can get a bit black and messy. If you do use it, try to dust as much of it off as possible before placing in the pan. For an extra fluffy bread, make smaller but slightly thicker flatbreads. You'll need to bake them a little longer to make sure they cook through.

Too much flour, or not the right kind, could be to blame. Dough made only from flour with a high or even average amount of protein (like bread flour or all-purpose flour) can become tough from overmixing.
