The Greek yoghurt adds moisture, richness, and a slight tang to the dough, helping to create soft, tender flatbreads without the need for yeast. Its acidity also reacts slightly with the baking powder, giving the flatbreads a light and fluffy texture.

Ingredient notes:
- Flour: This recipe calls for plain flour. While I have tried it with gluten free flour, the results can vary, try at your own risk.
- Yoghurt: Greek yoghurt is ideal for tis recipe as it's nice and thick. Be sure to use an unflavoured and unsweetened yoghurt.
- Baking powder: If you wanted to use self-raising flour in place of the plain flour, make sure you leave the baking powder out.

Step by step instructions:
Add the yoghurt, flour, baking powder and salt to a large bowl. Mix to combine.
On a well-floured bench, knead the dough a few times to form a smooth dough. Cut the dough into 6 pieces. Using a well-floured rolling pin, roll each piece out into a circle.
Cook each flatbread in a lightly oiled frying pan for a few minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the cooked flatbreads to a plate.
Combine the garlic butter ingredients and brush over the flatbreads once they are all cooked.
Keep warm until ready to use.
Recipe FAQs:
Yes, you can substitute the plain flour and baking powder with self-raising flour. Use 300g self-raising flour and leave out the baking powder.
Yes, you can prepare the dough a few hours ahead. Wrap it tightly in cling film and store it in the fridge until ready to use. Bring it to room temperature before rolling.
Absolutely! These flatbreads cook well on a barbecue or hot grill plate. Just keep an eye on them as they can cook quickly over high heat.

These flatbreads can also be frozen in a ziplock bag for up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen in a dry pan or microwave.
