Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add Wet Ingredients:
Pour in the yogurt, water, and vegetable oil. Mix all the ingredients together until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour until it’s manageable.
Shape the Dough:
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Knead briefly just to bring everything together smoothly.
Cook the Bread:
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Divide the dough into smaller portions and flatten each into a round shape, about 1/2 inch thick.
Place the dough rounds in the hot skillet.
Brush with Olive Oil:
Brush the top of each dough round with olive oil before flipping to cook the other side.
Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve your bread warm from the skillet. It pairs beautifully with soups, cheeses, or any spread of your choice.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve with hummus, baba ganoush, or any dip of your choice.
Pair with a bowl of soup or stew for a hearty meal.
Enjoy with butter and honey for a sweet twist.
Top with avocado and a poached egg for a healthy breakfast option.
Cooking Tips:
Ensure the skillet is well-heated before adding the dough to achieve a nice golden crust.
For added flavor, mix in herbs or spices like rosemary, garlic powder, or sesame seeds into the dough.If you prefer a softer texture, cover the skillet while cooking.
You can use whole wheat flour for a healthier version; just add a little more water to the dough.
