Description
Soft and chewy no-oven Turkish flatbread made entirely on the stovetop. Perfect for wraps, dips, or enjoying warm with olive oil and herbs. Easy to make with simple pantry ingredients and a skillet.
Ingredients
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp instant yeast
1 tsp sugar
1 ½ tsp salt
1 cup warm water
½ cup plain yogurt (room temperature)
2 tbsp olive oil
Extra flour for dusting
Optional: butter or olive oil for brushing
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
- Add warm water, room temperature yogurt, and olive oil. Mix with a spoon until a rough dough forms.
- Knead the dough by hand or with a stand mixer for 8–10 minutes until soft and elastic.
- Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Divide the risen dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a ball.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a round about ¼ inch thick.
- Heat a dry non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat.
- Cook each flatbread for 2–3 minutes on one side until bubbles form and bottom is golden.
- Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes on the other side.
- Optionally, brush with melted butter or olive oil after cooking for added flavor.
Notes
Use chopped herbs like parsley or dill for added flavor in the dough.
Substitute up to half the flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier version.
Add minced garlic or cumin seeds for extra aroma.
Roll thinner than ¼ inch for a more pliable wrap-style bread.
Store in an airtight container at room temp for 2 days or refrigerate up to 5 days.
Freeze flatbreads with parchment between them for longer storage.
Reheat on a skillet or microwave until soft and warm.
