Servings & Timing

  • Servings: 4
  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients List

  • 250g yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sweetener (sugar or erythritol)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 30g butter (use vegetable butter for vegan option)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

  1. Sift the Flour:
    • In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour to ensure it’s light and airy. Create a well in the center of the flour.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients:
    • Into the well, add the yogurt, baking powder, salt, and sweetener.
    • Mix the ingredients together, gradually incorporating the flour from the sides. Continue mixing until the flour is fully absorbed, and the dough comes together.

Step 2: Form and Roll the Dough

  1. Knead the Dough:
    • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 3-4 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour.
  2. Roll into Flatbreads:
    • Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten it into a disc using a rolling pin until you have a thin flatbread (about 1/4-inch thick).

Step 3: Cook the Flatbread

  1. Cook the Flatbread:
    • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
    • Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and slightly puffed up. Flip the flatbread and cook the other side.

Step 4: Add Garlic Butter

  1. Prepare the Garlic Butter:
    • While the flatbread is cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
    • Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  2. Brush the Flatbread:
    • Once the flatbreads are cooked, brush each one generously with the garlic butter while still hot.

Step 5: Serve

  1. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Serve the garlic butter flatbread warm as a side dish, or enjoy it with your favorite dip or meal!
