Homemade pan-fried yogurt flatbreads are a great alternative to classic baked goods. They are quick, simple and don’t require an oven, so even a complete beginner can make them. If you don’t want to go to the store unnecessarily or fancy warm homemade baked goods in a few minutes, this recipe will come in handy. The result is soft, pliable and tastes great both on its own and as a side to soup, spreads or grilled meat.

For 10 portions

Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup plain yogurt
1 cup warm water
½ teaspoon salt
½ packet dry yeast (or the same amount of fresh yeast)

Preparation procedure

Dough preparation Sift the flour into a large bowl, add the dry yeast, salt and plain yogurt. Gradually pour in the warm water and mix until a smooth and elastic dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
Dough rising Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size (approx. 45–60 minutes depending on room temperature).
Shaping the flatbreads Separate the risen dough into smaller portions and form them into balls. Roll each ball into a flatbread about 0.5 cm thick.
Frying Cook the flatbreads in a dry pan on both sides until golden. Each side takes approximately 2–3 minutes depending on your stove.

Total preparation time

preparation and proofing: approx. 60 minutes
frying: approx. 20 minutes
total: approx. 80 minutes

Number of servings

approx. 10–12 flatbreads (depending on size)

Conclusion

Pan-fried yogurt flatbreads are an ideal solution when you don’t have bread on hand or want to try something new. They are fluffy, soft and taste great both warm and cold. If you make them fresh for breakfast or as a side for dinner, you definitely can’t go wrong. They are also great for the freezer – after thawing they are like new.
