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.

Finish
Brush lightly with butter or oil and sprinkle herbs if desired.
Stack and cover to keep soft.

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