Easy Yogurt Flatbreads Recipes

EASY YOGHURT FLATBREADS (VARYING SIZES)

Steps:

• Sieve flour into a mixing bowl.
• Add natural yoghurt and spoon of oil and mix together until a dough is formed.
• Flour the worktop and roll dough into desired shape. A thinner dough is best as it takes less time to cook.
• If they are intended to be eaten by themselves, fry in Fry Light in a frying pan till golden brown.
• If intended as a pizza base, cook in a preheated oven at 200°C for 5 minutes. Remove from oven, turn upside down and add toppings. Place back in oven and cook for a further 10-15 minutes until the dough has browned and any cheese has melted. Serve with side salad and enjoy!

YOGURT FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Whisk 3 tablespoons warm water (100 to 110 degrees F; see Cook's Note) with the honey in a small bowl until dissolved. Stir in the yeast and let sit until it begins to bubble, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the flour and salt in a separate bowl. Make a well in the center and add the yogurt and 2/3 cup warm water. Stir the water and yogurt together in the well, then stir in the yeast mixture. Using a rubber spatula, fold the mixture together until it forms a rough ball of dough; the dough will have a shaggy texture. Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour and knead the dough until it becomes smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. If the dough begins to stick to your hands, lightly flour them and continue to knead. Add the dough back to the bowl, cover with a clean towel and allow to rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Punch down the dough. At this point, you can proceed with baking below, or you can freeze the dough. To freeze, place the dough in a resealable freezer bag, squeeze out excess air and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Defrost the dough in the refrigerator the night before you want to make the flatbreads.
• To cook the flatbreads, lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Divide the dough into 12 pieces, about 2 ounces each. Roll each piece of dough into a ball, then flatten into a circle with your palm. Roll each dough circle into a roughly 6- to 7-inch round, but don't worry if the flatbread takes on another shape, as long as it is approximately 1/4 inch thick. If the dough begins to stick to the rolling pin or board, just dust with more flour.
• Heat a 10-inch or larger cast-iron pan or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease with vegetable oil. When the pan just begins to smoke, reduce the heat to medium and add 1 to 2 flatbreads or whatever fits in the pan without any overlap. Cook until bubbles appear on the top of the dough and the bottom is cooked and deep brown in spots, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until completely cooked through, another 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a baking sheet to cool and repeat with the remaining flatbreads. If the pan gets too hot, just remove from the heat to let cool slightly, then wipe out the pan, grease with a little more oil and resume cooking the flatbreads.
• When all the flatbreads are cooked, let cool completely. Eat immediately or wrap in a clean towel and store at room temperature for 1 day. To freeze: To ensure fresh, warm flatbreads every time, stack the flatbreads with a piece of parchment between each (see Cook's Note) and then place in a resealable freezer bag. Push out the excess air and freeze for up to about 2 months.
• To reheat, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Remove the desired number of flatbreads from the freezer and place on a baking sheet in a flat layer. Bake from frozen until the flatbreads are warmed through and soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Alternatively, you can toast the flatbreads from frozen in a toaster oven for about 3 minutes on the toaster setting.

EASY YOGURT FLATBREADS

Steps:

• Put the flour, salt, sugar and yeast in a large bowl and mix well. Heat the milk in a saucepan until lukewarm. Reserving 1 tbsp of the yogurt, add the rest to the milk and mix thoroughly. Melt the butter and add to the milk and yogurt, mixing well.
• Pour slowly over the flour and mix together, then knead for 10 mins until you have a springy dough. Leave to rise in a warm place for about 1 hr until doubled in size.
• Divide the dough into 10 even- sized balls. Heat the grill to medium and put a large baking tray under it to heat for about 10 mins. Flatten the balls of dough, roll into rough teardrop shapes and spread with the reserved yogurt. Place on the hot baking tray and grill under a moderate heat for 2-3 mins each side until golden. Watch constantly, as they can burn very quickly.
