Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons (8g) baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon (3g) salt
  • 3/4 cup (180g) plain full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil
  • 2–3 tablespoons (30–45ml) water, as needed
  • 3 tablespoons (45g) unsalted butter, melted (or plant-based butter for vegan)
  • 3–4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
  • Pinch of sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute.
  2. Add Greek yogurt and olive oil to the bowl. Mix with a spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time if needed until the dough just comes together.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 2–3 minutes until smooth. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
  4. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces (for medium flatbreads) or 8 (for smaller ones). Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into a round or oval about 1/4 inch thick.
  5. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, and parsley (if using). Set aside.
  6. For oven: Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment. Arrange flatbreads on the sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until puffed and golden in spots.
  7. For air fryer: Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place 2–3 flatbreads in the basket (don’t overlap). Air fry for 4–5 minutes, flip, then cook another 2–3 minutes until golden and puffy. Repeat with remaining dough.
  8. As soon as each flatbread comes out, brush generously with garlic butter. Sprinkle with parmesan and sea salt if desired.
  9. Stack flatbreads on a plate and cover loosely with foil or a towel to keep warm until serving.

Notes

Resting the dough helps ensure a soft, fluffy texture. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and add a splash more water if needed. For vegan, use coconut yogurt and plant-based butter. Brush garlic butter on immediately after baking for best flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
