Homemade Flatbreads

Jump to Recipe

Easy homemade flatbreads made from simple pantry staples; flour, baking powder, salt and Greek yoghurt, then topped with a parsley garlic butter.

Three pieces of flatbread with green herbs are stacked on a plate set on a wooden surface.

Simple to make, delicious to eat and so versatile, these Homemade Flatbreads are everything you want them to be. You can use them to dip into your favourite curry, bake them with your favourite toppings, or load up with your favourite fillings to create a wrap.

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.

Here are some great recipes to use these flatbreads with:

Curry: Lamb and Spinach Curry, Chicken Korma, Oven Baked Lamb Curry, Butter Chicken
Wraps: Chicken Gyros, Lamb and Haloumi Wraps, Air Fryer Chicken Tandoori Flatbreads,

Ingredient notes:

Four labeled containers of baking powder, flour, and sugar, along with Greek yogurt, parsley, a garlic clove, and a small dish of butter on a kitchen counter.

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.

Note: Scroll to the recipe card for the ingredients, quantities and the full method.

Step by step instructions:

Add the yoghurt, flour, baking powder and salt to a large bowl. Mix to combine.

Recipe FAQs:

Can I use self-raising flour instead of plain flour and baking powder?

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.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

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.

Can I cook these on a barbecue or grill plate?

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.

Storage:

Flatbreads are best enjoyed fresh on the day they’re made, but any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the pantry and eaten the next day. They may need to be warmed slightly before serving to refresh their texture.

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

Top tips:

You can prepare the dough in advance and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
You can use a round cookie cutter to make mini flatbreads perfect for starters.
These are best eaten on the day they are made.
