    Easy 2-Ingredient Flatbread Recipe - easy soft flatbread made with self-rising flour, natural sour cream and no yeast. Perfect for wraps, in place of pizza dough or dipped in curry.

    EASY FLATBREAD

    The magical 2-ingredient dough is not at all new, however recently it's gaining popularity. It's easy, does not require any raising time since there is no yeast involved, it's versatile and the final result is soft and delicious! You can use it to make bagels, pizza, pretzels, dinner rolls, flatbread, and pita bread. It is a mix of self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. I don't usually have self-rising flour on hand so I made my own mix. I also know that natural sour cream has a similar texture and consistency as Greek yogurt and it is perfect for this recipe.

    Ingredients Needed:

    • self-rising flour OR all-purpose flour and baking powder
    • salt
    • Greek yogurt OR natural sour cream
    stack of flatbread on plate

    What is Flatbread?

    Flatbread is an unleavened bread, made without yeast. It is usually thin and crispy, perfect for breaking into pieces and dipping in curry or used for wraps with gyros meat or shawarma meat.

    How to make 2-Ingredient Flatbread?

    • To make this soft and pliable flatbread, measure out flour, baking powder and salt and combine in a large mixing bowl.
    • Add natural sour cream and stir together with a wooden spoon or spatula.
    flour and sour cream in a bowl
    • Form into a ball.
    • Place on a floured surface and let rest for 20 minutes.
    • In the meantime, grease a cast iron skillet and set over medium to medium-high heat.
    dough in a bowl
    • Form the dough into a log and cut into 8 pieces. Start in the middle of the dough log and cut each half into two until you have 8 pieces.
    • Form each piece of dough into a ball, flatten gently on a floured surface and roll out into a thin circle.

    • Carefully, place the rolled out dough onto the preheated skillet and fry on each side for about 2 minutes OR until it is golden and golden brown spots form on the surface.

    What Can I Substitute for Self-Rising Flour?

    Self-rising flour is a mix of flour with a leavening agent, like baking powder. You can make your own and store in a container or remember to add 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt per 1 cup of flour needed.

    No Yeast

    To make a fluffy and soft flatbread without yeast, you will need another leavening agent. Self-rising flour is perfect for that because it contains baking powder. You can use store-bought self-rising flour or make your own mix. It's very easy! The flour along with Greek yogurt or natural sour cream (or coconut yogurt to keep it vegan) creates a soft and pliable flatbread.

    How to Use Flatbread?

    • use it in place of a yeast pizza dough, top with tomato sauce, pepperoni and cheese and bake until cheese is melted. So good!
    • tore into pieces and serve with a big bowl of curry and rice.
    • use as a wrap to serve shawarma or gyros meat and vegetables
    • spread with hummus and top with veggies for a healthy lunch

    Calories 389 kcal

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 3 cups all-purpose flour see note if using self-rising flour
    • 3 and 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
    • 3/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1 and 1/2 cups natural sour cream or Greek yogurt

    Instructions
     

    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt.
    • Add natural sour cream and stir with a wooden spoon.
    • Form the dough into a ball. Place on a floured surface. Let rest for 20 minutes.
    • Next, form the dough into a log and slice in half. Slice each half into two and keep going until you have 8 pieces.
    • Form each dough piece into a ball and roll out with a rolling pin into a thin circle.
    • Grease a cast iron 11-inch skillet. Preheat oven medium to medium-high heat.
    • Carefully, place each piece in skillet and fry on each side for 2 minutes OR until it is golden and golden brown spots appear on the surface.
    • Remove from skillet and repeat with remaining pieces of dough.

    Notes

    If using self-rising flour, skip the baking powder and salt since the flour already has it. 
    Store cooled flatbread in a ziploc bag to prevent drying. Serve with curry and rice, as a mini pizza dough or in wraps with gyros or shawarma meat.

      Have you tried buttermilk or whole milk instead of yogurt? I usually don’t have yogurt on hand. Would I need to add any fat to it? Thanks

        I made this with AP gluten-free flour. It turned out well. Getting the patties thin enough is a little harder without gluten holding things together, but I found using a spatula to transfer them to the pan made things easier.

          I use the dove flour.
          I roll them thin between the non stick baking parchment makes them easier to handle
          Drop flat onto onto the pan and peel back gently.

      Love this flatbread. So easy. I didn't have enough sour cream so I used plain whole fat yogurt. The yogurt was too runny so I drained it in a coffee filter and colander to drain out the excess water until it was thick like sour cream. I fry one side, flip it and then put on toppings and place in oven at 400. Did a bruschetta, a sweet sausage and fennel and a buffalo chicken topping. I will experience with more. I assume the nutrition is for sour cream and not yogurt.

      I never comment on a recipe, but this one is awesome. My wife has a non-celiac gluten allergy, and this flat bread recipe worked perfectly with gluten free all purpose flour. The baking soda and salt gave it the chewy gluten/yeast feel in the mouth without needing wheat. There crispy edges and imperfect shapes made for an awesome pizza evening tonight, and a nice chewy dip scoop last time I made it. Thank you so much!

      Anyway - do you know if this can be kept longer, like in the freezer? Jw if I could make a bigger batch at once. Ty!

      This dough is a my new go to dough! It turns out so amazing every time and uses ingredients I always have on hand. I love that it's crispy on the outside and so soft on the inside. I haven't used it as a flatbread before but my kids would be all over it as an after school snack with peanut butter and honey.

        Hey, I'm just a random chef but you can totally switch out the ingredients, though the regular yogurt I would not recommend. The wheat flour will affect the taste and density which is fine but the regular yogurt will most likely be too watery.
