The Kitchn: Enjoy this homemade griddled bread in no time flat

By Christine Gallary on

If you want a quick, fresh-off-the-griddle flatbread, it doesn't get much easier than this dough that uses just two ingredients. In just about 30 minutes, from start to finish, you'll be tucking into tender flatbreads that can be eaten with dip, rolled up with your favorite fillings, or used to sop up something saucy that you're serving for dinner.

Oh, and guess what? There's no stand mixer or special equipment required. Here's how we do it.

Two ingredients for success

Self-rising flour: Self-rising flour might be a new ingredient to you, but you should embrace it! This flour blend has all-purpose flour, salt and baking powder, so all you have to do is measure one ingredient instead of three. If you don't keep this as a pantry staple, it's pretty easy to make up on your own. Or, pick up a bag of self-rising flour from the grocery store.

Full-fat plain Greek yogurt: Yogurt hydrates the dough and gives it a nice tangy flavor and a needed dose of fat. It's important to stick with full-fat, not low-fat or nonfat, yogurt here.

 

Customize your flatbread

It's easy to flavor and customize your flatbread. You can use fresh herbs or scallions, or add a big pinch of black pepper or your favorite spice. Some grated hard cheese like Parmesan would also be delicious.

After the dough is mixed together in a bowl (no stand mixer needed -- just elbow grease), it's kneaded together and then left to rest for 20 minutes. This lets the dough relax and makes it easier to roll out. This super-tender dough is a dream to roll out after a rest. After, all it needs is a few minutes on hot griddle or skillet with a brush of oil to get nice and golden-brown.

Use this flatbread like you would pocketless pita, lavash or naan. It's truly versatile, but tasty enough to just eat on its own -- straight off the griddle!
