Three-Ingredient Easy Flatbreads

Featured in: Weeknight Dinners

This flatbread features just three ingredients: self-rising flour, Greek yogurt, and olive oil. The dough comes together quickly, kneaded briefly and rolled into thin rounds. Cooking on a hot skillet produces soft, golden breads perfect for pairing with dips, curries, or using as wraps. Simple to prepare, these flatbreads suit a vegetarian diet and carry subtle Mediterranean inspiration. They offer a quick bread option that’s soft yet sturdy, adaptable with added seasonings like garlic powder or salt.
