Ingredients:
| Ingredients | Amount |
|---|---|
| Active dried yeast | 2.5 tablespoons |
| Lukewarm water | 1 and 1/4 cups (about 105˚F) |
| Sugar | 1/4 cup |
| Basic yogurt | 3/4 cup |
| Olive oil | 2 tablespoons |
| Salt | 1/2 tablespoon |
| Dried basil | 3/4 tablespoon |
| Dried oregano | 30 milliliters |
| Garlic powder | 1.5 milligrams |
| All-purpose flour | 3.75 cups |
| Fresh parsley | 1/4 cup, chopped |
| Olive oil (for frying) | 1/2 cup |
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and lukewarm water. Allow it to stand for 8 to 10 minutes until frothy.
- In another bowl, whisk together the yogurt, olive oil, salt, dried basil, dried oregano, and garlic powder until well combined.
- Gradually add the flour and chopped parsley to the yeast mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon until a dough forms.
- Knead the Dough:
- Transfer the dough to a generously floured surface or kitchen counter. Knead the dough for about 4 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding more flour if needed to prevent sticking.
- Shape the Dough:
- Divide the dough into 10 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball. Ensure they are evenly sized for uniform cooking.
- Lightly dust the dough balls with flour and cover them with a kitchen towel. Let them rest for 15 minutes.
- Cook the Flatbreads:
- Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Roll out each dough ball into a circle approximately 7 inches in diameter.
- Brush one side of the rolled-out dough with olive oil and place it oil-side down in the heated skillet.
- Cook for about 1 ½ minutes until bubbles form on the surface. Brush the top with olive oil before flipping.
- Cook for another minute or until the underside is golden brown. Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Once cooked, transfer the flatbreads to a dish and cover them with a kitchen towel to keep them warm.
- Serve the flatbreads warm with your favorite toppings or alongside your favorite dishes. They can also be toasted or chilled before serving for added versatility.
