On the right side, pieces of dough are shaped into eight triangular parts arranged in a circle on a white marbled surface, with the tips facing inward and the wider edges out, creating a star-like shape. The dough pieces are pale with a powdery texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Only two main ingredients make these flatbreads wonderfully simple, but each plays a key role in the final texture and flavor. Plus, a splash of rapeseed oil is essential for the perfect golden crust when cooking.

  • Greek Yogurt: Use full-fat for the creamiest texture and to add subtle tang that brightens each bite.
  • Self-Raising Flour: Provides lift and structure so your flatbreads puff up nicely without any extra rising time.
  • Rapeseed Oil: Ideal for frying due to its mild flavor and high smoke point, helping you get a crispy exterior.

How to Make Easy Two Ingredient Yogurt Flatbreads Recipe

Step 1: Combine the Flour and Yogurt

Start by placing the self-raising flour in a large mixing bowl. Add the Greek yogurt directly on top and gently mix together just until everything begins to come together. This quick combination is the start of your tender dough.

Step 2: Knead into a Soft Dough

Using your hands, knead the mixture briefly until the dough feels pliable and soft, but not sticky. It should hold together nicely without clinging to your fingers. This gentle kneading activates the gluten for a light texture.

Step 3: Rest the Dough

Lightly oil the inside of your bowl and place the dough back in, turning it once to coat with oil. Cover the bowl and let it rest at room temperature for up to 30 minutes. This resting period softens the dough further and improves the flatbread’s tenderness.

Step 4: Divide and Roll

Once rested, split the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion on a lightly floured surface to about 16 centimeters (6 inches) in diameter. Keep the rolled flatbreads covered with plastic wrap to prevent drying out, and avoid stacking them to stop sticking.

Step 5: Cook the Flatbreads

Heat a non-stick frying pan over high heat and add a teaspoon of rapeseed oil. Reduce heat slightly, then cook each flatbread for about one minute on the first side, until it starts to puff and develop beautiful brown spots. Flip and cook the other side for about 30 seconds for the perfect golden crust. Repeat until all are cooked.

The image shows a stack of four lightly browned flatbreads on a white plate with a delicate yellow pattern around the rim, placed on a white marbled surface. One flatbread on top is folded in half, revealing some of its soft and slightly puffed texture with charred spots in dark brown. Around the plate, there are other dishes: on the top left, a white plate with a green pattern holds shredded cooked meat seasoned with red spices and some sliced red onions with tomatoes; near the top right, a white plate with a blue pattern holds a wrapped flatbread filled with meat, sliced tomato, and red onions garnished with herbs; on the bottom left, there is a white bowl (changed from turquoise) with golden fried potato sticks; near the bottom right, a green bowl has thinly sliced red onions mixed with chopped fresh herbs; and to the far right, there is a glass dish with a light-colored sauce. The whole scene is bright with natural light highlighting the textures and colors. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Garnishes

These flatbreads are a great canvas for fresh, flavorful garnishes. Try sprinkling with chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley, a drizzle of olive oil, or a scatter of flaky sea salt. A little garlic powder or za’atar sprinkled on top adds delicious interest without overpowering the bread’s gentle tang.

Side Dishes

Pair your flatbreads with dips such as hummus, tzatziki, or baba ganoush for a Mediterranean-inspired feast. They’re also fabulous alongside curries, stews, or grilled veggies — perfect for scooping up every last bite.

Creative Ways to Present

Roll them up with fillings like spiced meats, cheeses, or roasted vegetables to make quick wraps. Or serve stacked with layers of butter and jam for a simple but irresistible snack. Their soft yet sturdy nature makes them versatile enough to complement a wide range of dishes and occasions.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Store any uncooked dough tightly wrapped in the fridge for up to two days. Once cooked, flatbreads keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or two. To prevent sogginess, layer them with parchment paper between each flatbread.

Freezing

You can freeze cooked flatbreads wrapped individually in plastic wrap and stored in a freezer bag for up to a month. Thaw overnight in the fridge or at room temperature before reheating to keep their soft texture intact.

Reheating

Reheat flatbreads simply by warming them in a hot, dry skillet for a minute or two on each side. This restores their fresh-cooked softness and revives that lovely toasted flavor beautifully.

FAQs

Can I use plain flour instead of self-raising?

Yes, but you’ll need to add a leavening agent like baking powder (about 1 1/2 teaspoons) to mimic the rise and softness self-raising flour provides.

What if the dough feels too sticky?

Dust your hands and work surface lightly with flour as you knead, adding small amounts if needed until it feels manageable.

Can I substitute the Greek yogurt with regular yogurt?

Greek yogurt’s thicker consistency is key here; if using regular yogurt, strain it first to remove excess liquid or your dough may end up too wet.

How thick should I roll the flatbreads?

About 16 centimeters (6 inches) in diameter and roughly 3-4 millimeters thick strikes a great balance — thin enough to cook quickly but thick enough to stay soft and pillowy.

Will these flatbreads keep well the next day?

Absolutely! Store them in an airtight container and give them a quick warm-up in a pan before serving to refresh their lovely texture.

  • The flatbreads are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a day or two.
  • Rapeseed oil is preferred for frying due to its mild flavor and high smoke point, but you can substitute with vegetable or olive oil if desired.
  • Do not stack rolled flatbreads prior to cooking as they might stick to each other.
