Quick Stovetop Flatbread (No Oven)
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Yield: 8–10 flatbreads
Soft, flexible flatbreads cooked on a pan. Perfect for wraps, dipping, or serving with meals.
Ingredients
For the Dough
4 cups (480 g) all-purpose flour
1 cup (220 g) plain yogurt
¾ cup (200 ml) lukewarm water
10 g baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
For Finishing
3½ tablespoons olive oil (for brushing after cooking)
Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Dough
In a large bowl:
Add yogurt, water, vegetable oil, and salt.
Stir in the baking powder.
Gradually add flour while mixing.
When the dough becomes thick, knead gently with your hands until smooth and no longer sticky.
Step 2: Divide and Shape
Divide the dough into 8–10 equal pieces.
Lightly flour your work surface.
Roll each piece into a circle about ¼ inch thick.
Step 3: Cook on the Stovetop
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat (no oil needed).
Place one flatbread in the pan.
Cook for 1–2 minutes until bubbles appear.
Flip and cook the other side for 1–2 minutes until light brown spots form.
Repeat with remaining pieces.
Step 4: Brush with Olive Oil
As each flatbread comes off the pan, brush lightly with olive oil.
Stack them on a plate and cover with a clean cloth to keep warm and soft.
Tips for Best Results
Yogurt: Use plain yogurt for the best texture.
Pan heat: Medium heat prevents burning while cooking evenly.
Thickness: Thinner dough cooks faster and stays flexible.
Flavor ideas: You may add garlic powder or herbs to the dough if desired.
Storage
Store leftovers in a sealed bag at room temperature for 1 day, or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Reheat briefly in a dry pan or microwave before serving.
