Ingredients

  • 2 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 ½ tsp honey
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 4 cups regular flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp chili flakes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup yoghurt
  • ½ cup parsley chopped
  • ½ cup butter
  • 3 garlic cloves diced (optional)

Instructions

  • Start off by adding the yeast, warm water, and honey together in a large bowl. Allow the mixture to stand for 5mins until the yeast has become foamy. The natural sugar in the honey and warm water helps to activate the yeast.
  • In a separate bowl add 4 cups of flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt and chili flakes to the large bowl and mix well. Add the foamy yeast mixture and mix lightly. Add 1 cup of yoghurt to the flour mixture and mix until most of the ingredients have been incorporated.
  • Transfer the mixture to a floured surface and knead for 5mins. Add more flour if the dough is too wet or more water/milk if the dough is too dry.
  • Place in a clean and oiled bowl - lightly cover the dough with oil. Cover the bowl with a cloth or cling wrap and allow to rise for 1 hr in a warm place.
  • Once the dough has risen you must section it in 8 pieces (you may section into more pieces if you want to make pitas or smaller flatbreads).
  • Flour the surface and roll each piece out into your desired shape but the dough must be 1cm (so not too thin). I prefer cooking the first one and then adjusting the shape and thickness of the next flatbread.
  • Place the raw rolled-out flatbread in a dry pan that's on medium-high heat. Cook about 2-3mins on each side.
  • Add the freshly crushed and diced garlic, chopped parsley, and butter together and melt. Brush the mixture over the warm flatbreads and serve.
