⭐ Easy Homemade Flatbread (No Yeast, No Rise)

Makes: 6 medium flatbreads
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ¾ cup warm water (plus 1–2 tablespoons if needed)
• Optional flavor add-ins:
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, parsley)
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt for softer, richer flatbread

Instructions

1. Mix the dry ingredients
   In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and any optional herbs or seasonings.
2. Add the liquids
   Drizzle in olive oil. Add warm water gradually while stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
3. Knead the dough
   Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for 2–3 minutes until smooth.
   If the dough feels dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time.
   If too sticky, add a sprinkle of flour.
4. Rest (optional but helpful)
   Cover and rest for 10 minutes to relax the gluten. This makes rolling easier.
5. Shape the flatbreads
   Divide into 6 equal balls. Roll each into a thin oval or circle (⅛–¼ inch thick).
6. Cook
   Heat a dry skillet (nonstick or cast iron) over medium-high heat.
   Cook each flatbread for 1–2 minutes per side, until golden spots appear and it puffs slightly.
7. Brush with olive oil (optional)
   For extra flavor, brush warm flatbreads with olive oil mixed with:
   • minced garlic,
   • melted butter, or
   • chopped herbs.

Tips for Perfect Flatbread

• Thinner dough → crispier flatbread
• Thicker dough → softer, chewier flatbread
• Cast iron gives the best browning
• Add 2 tbsp yogurt for pillowy, naan-like texture
• These reheat beautifully in a skillet or toaster oven
