Total Time: 20 minutes
Yield: 6-8
Ingredients:
1 cup Organic all-purpose unbleached flour and a bit more for kneading
1 cup Organic Greek Yogurt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
Nub of butter or olive oil for frying (about 2 tablespoons of oil in total)
Instructions
combine 1 cup of flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl. Mix quickly. Then, add in the Greek yogurt. If you have a stand mixer, place all ingredients into the mixing bowl and use the dough hook to combine and knead the dough.
Start mixing, and once the dough starts forming, knead it in the bowl. When you see a ball has formed, sprinkle some additional flour onto a clean surface and place the dough onto it. Roll it into a ball and cut it into 6-8 equal parts. Roll each mini ball into a ball to get that round pita shape.
Use a rolling pin to roll out each ball into 1-inch pita/flatbread pieces. Sprinkle additional flour as needed.
coat a thin layer of butter or good-quality cooking oil in a large skillet or griddle. Add your flatbread rounds to the pan on medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Check often to make sure it doesn’t burn. Once golden brown, flip it to cook the other side.
Eat warm with your favorite filling.
Notes:
Keep the food in a Ziplock bag or container in the fridge for optimal storage. When ready to eat, heat it in a skillet or toaster oven. The food stays fresh for up to three days.
If you have a stand mixer, place all ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, and Greek yogurt) into the bowl and use the dough hook to make the dough even faster with no kneading. Then, follow the remaining steps in the recipe.

Do I have to use Greek yogurt?
Greek yogurt is packed with protein and a thicker consistency, but I have made it with regular plain yogurt, which is just as tasty but doesn’t contain as much protein.
Can I use other flours?
You can use wholewheat flour, but I get the tastiest results with unbleached all-purpose flour. I have tried making these gluten-free using GF flour, but they didn’t taste good, so I will save you the effort and advise against that.
Can you make the dough in advance?
You can make the dough and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. I would be mindful that you cover it well so the dough does not dry. Once you are ready to roll out the dough and fry the flatbreads, cut out your six pieces and
What if the dough is too sticky?
Add a little more flour to the dough if it is too wet.
How do I store these flatbreads?
Place in an airtight container or Ziplock bag and store in the fridge. This will stay fresh for up to 3 days. To freeze your high-protein flatbread, wait for it to be cooled completely, then place it in a freezer-safe bag and store it in the fridge for up to two months. To unfreeze, remove from the freezer bag and toast it in a toaster oven for best results.
What temperature do you fry the flatbread?
Start at medium heat and reduce it to low as you cook, giving your flatbread a nice light brown color if you see that your flatbread is burning. Remove the pan from heat, allow it to cool, and place it on the burner at a lower temperature. Because these flatbreads cook quickly, stay close to the pan and watch for readiness and not overcook.
