Ingredients
300g/2 1/3 cup plain flour
200g/scant 1 cup plain yogurt full fat
3/4 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Mix the flour, yogurt, baking powder and salt and knead lightly until a dough forms. Cover with a tea towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Divide into 6-8 portions. Roll out thinly on a generously floured surface. Preheat a frying pan until smoking hot. Dip a bunched up sheet of paper towel into vegetable oil and rub the frying pan with it. Cook each flatbread on high until it bubbles up, it can take up to 1 minute or even longer depending on the heat of your pan. Then flip and cook on the other side for 20-30 seconds longer.

Easier flatbread, buy from someone/where

This is almost like my mom's tortilla recipe, except she didn't use yogurt. She used pig lard. God, I miss her tortillas.

We call it Chapati here in India™

I don't have yoghurt, could I use full fat sour cream here instead?
vincentdecruze
Just use the flour and salt. Moist the mixture and prepare a dough. Keep wet cloth on the dough for 10 minutes. Then proceed as in the video
ipcatchip8
For more joy, add honey to the dough. It's pure heaven. And listen, if you do it, tell me how it turns out because I just made that up.

Came back to this and there is no ingredient quantities listed anymore?

Add some tomatoes, cheese, spinach and bacon, stick two of them together before cooking and you got yourself the best homemade calzone ever!

"Hey, you got any more of that tasty flatbread?" "Sorry, we don't got naan."

Came to say the same, flatbread? What flat bread. That's a naan
CorgiDewitt
Just need to add some garlic and butter and it's perfect!
ehoneyestewa84
You mean a tortilla?

Easier flatbread recipe: 1. Get bread 2. Sit on it.

Where's mah flatbrød homies at?
shepahrdjhon
here. I recently learned to make a mix between pita and paratha. I am a Pakistani but live near Dearborn and eat lots of Arabic food
shepahrdjhon
2 so the combo makes sense. To make it American, I put cheese and tomato on it and baked it to make pizza.
CP3oh
How tf do you get it so the dough doesn't stick like glue to the rolling pin? Honest question that always happens to me.
investigation27
I couldn't. But the lumpy ugly ones where I just gave up and hand shaped them actually had the best texture when cooked.
lauravonberky
Flour the rolling pin or put the dough between parchment or wax paper.
TheWarHymn
You need to knead your dough more or add less liquid. Powdering your roller and surface with flour helps as well.

I've seen tortillas described as flatbread too. I think it's a white people thing lol

Any substitute for yogurt?
DrFighterpilotAttorneyAtLaw
...scant?
sheanar
Make sure it isn't mounded, or just slightly under
gswani
Right? I know what the word means, but not in context. Almost a cup maybe?
sheanar
Make sure it isn't mounded. Just slightly under.
englishmaninnm
I did this with only the first 3 ingredients and a dry pan (no oil) and the came out great.
CrankyCook
And fill it with taco toppings
TheRicM
Or top it with taco fillings
cheeree42
You do realise that ‘naan’ translates as ‘bread’ yeah? So saying naan bread you are actually saying, bread bread.
shepahrdjhon
as a Pakistani, not exactly correct. bread="roti" in Urdu. What Americans call "white bread" we call it "double roti"

There are many of these things around. You'll go insane if they all annoy you. Have a chai tea by the river Avon and smile.

That. Was a stunning punning.

Is that how you pronounce gyros? I've definitely been saying it wrong in my head.

Thanks for the grams, alot of these recipes are in only in cups and as an Englishman I never have any idea what that means
t00tie
I solved that by buying an american set of measuring thingies. Now if only I knew how to make sticks of butter...
JackandRose1912
As an American I feel so sorry for you seeing all of our silly recipes with our freedom units. I wish grams were more prevalent bc they give
JackandRose1912
me stress. It's like being in a science/chemistry test every time wondering if I'm converting it right and if I'm following my units

This is second to naan.

Where are you?
investigation27
Just did it with sour cream as an experiment and it's delightful. I think it's likely to work reasonably well with other yogurt, too.
sebert81
Thank you for posting the measurements in metric and American.
jomi20806
Excuse me but here in ‘murcia we prefer the term “freedom units”
DustenSalinas
This is what my grandmother used to do for fast flour tortillas as well. Substitute yogurt for some form of fat: heavy cream/lard/oil/butter
kjb72
Thanks! I'm out of yogurt.
TargetedAdBot
...why does it need resting of there is no yeast?
SnarlyTangles
Gives you a chance to down a brewski.
METROlD
Cause yuour mom is a humongous hoebag.
FluffyLlamass
The resting is for you, you deserve a break
DrMephistopheles
The resting time is for the cook to cook something for the flatbread
UndulatingTerrain
For hydration. You can try it out with just flour and water. Mix together and you got a lumpy mess. 30 min later, dough is much better.
MarxAvenger
Hydration, chemical leavening (baking soda), & the bacteria in the yogurt.
wc4360
All dough needs to rest
billystar101

rojelioenescabeche
After dividing I let it rest again for about 20 min.
plainoldfool
Yogurt is also a leavener. Adam Regusia just posted a video on this today.
InternetExplorer2001
Baking powder acts as a leavening agent because it contains baking soda; which produces Co2 bubbles when mixed with an acid, like yogurt.
HaveNotOf
which are then thoroughly squeezed out with the rolling pin

InternetExplorer2001
I do NOT bake, I cook.
Havacado
Excellent question with an informative answer. Thank you both.
Flourpower24
Baking powder already contains an acid (cream of tartar) and doesn't need time to activate. The resting is so that the gluten can relax.
MarxAvenger
Also so the bacteria in the yogurt can do a bit of work.
highlanderbird
I hate it when my gluten is anxious. Like for real man just chill.
glitterdemon
It also allows the gluten to relax so you get a stretchier dough and chewier bread.
TheWorldAccordingToAtlas
Has gluten tried smoking pot and watching Forensic Files?
TripUpStairs
Are you insomniac me? This made me laugh.
FBGNorvilleBarnes
Even easier. 1 cup flour, 1 cup greek yogurt.
bassaro
Even easier: 1 loaf wonder bread, 1 flattener (rolling pin, cast iron pan, shovel, car tire, etc).
TheBestRussian
Does it have to be green? I only have that low-fat shit in tiny cups. Would it work?
investigation27
There's at least one way to find out. Can't be that bad, right?
TheBestRussian
I will have to do it and report back. The yogurt’s gone funny, perfect way to use it up.
investigation27
Well so far I've done ricotta and sour cream and both work. Pretty sure any dairy will.
