Step 1: Activate the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast.
Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Step 2: Make the Dough
Add:
- Flour
- Salt
- Yogurt
- Olive oil
Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 3: Knead
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface.
Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 4: Let It Rise
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl.
Cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap.
Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Step 5: Divide the Dough
Punch down the dough.
Divide it into 8 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a ball.
Let them rest for 10 minutes.
Step 6: Roll Out
Using a rolling pin, roll each dough ball into a circle about 7–8 inches (18–20 cm) wide.
Step 7: Cook
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place one flatbread in the dry pan.
Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles appear.
Flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden brown with light charred spots.
Repeat with the remaining dough.
Step 8: Finish
Brush each warm flatbread with melted butter for extra softness and flavor.
Stack them under a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and tender.
