Make the Dough
In a bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder, and optional protein powder.
Add yogurt and oil. Mix until crumbly, then form into a soft dough.
Add warm water only if dough feels dry.
Rest
Cover and let rest for 10 minutes to relax the gluten and soften texture.
Roll
Divide dough into 6 equal balls.
Roll each into a thin round (6–7 inches).
Cook
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Cook each flatbread 1–2 minutes per side until bubbles form and golden spots appear.

Can I skip resting the dough?
You can, but resting makes them softer and easier to roll.
