Three Ingredient Easy Flatbreads

Featured in: Weeknight Dinners

These soft flatbreads rely on just three ingredients: self-rising flour, creamy Greek yogurt, and olive oil. The dough comes together quickly and requires minimal kneading, making it a perfect choice for an easy bread fix. Cooked in a hot skillet until golden and puffed, these breads are great served warm alongside dips, curries, or as a wrap base. Variations include adding garlic powder or swapping yogurt for a vegan option.

Questions & Answers

What flour works best for these flatbreads?

Self-rising flour provides a light, tender texture due to its built-in leavening, making it ideal for these flatbreads.

How do I know when the flatbreads are cooked?

They should develop golden brown spots and puff slightly. Cooking each side for 2–3 minutes on medium-high heat usually achieves this.

Can I add flavors to the dough?

Absolutely, a pinch of salt or garlic powder can be mixed into the dough to enhance flavor before cooking.

What are the best ways to serve these flatbreads?
