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.

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 DO I MAKE FLATBREAD?

Traditional flatbread is made with flour, water and salt. Simply mix the ingredients and form a dough. Divide into equal pieces, roll out and bake or fry.

HOW DO I MAKE FLATBREAD WITHOUT 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.

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.

Natural sour cream can be found right next to regular and low-fat sour cream. It is usually the same price as regular sour cream and costs less than Greek yogurt. I have used sour cream in place of cream cheese in my crumb bars and they always come out perfect, so I was very excited to find that I can use the natural sour cream in place of Greek yogurt.

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. Form into a ball. Place on floured surface and let rest for 20 minutes. In the meantime, grease a cast iron skillet and set over medium to medium-high heat.

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.

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

    I’ve just made these, I’ve used Greek yoghurt as we prefer it over any cream. I’ve added tuscan spice/herb mix, divine! Thankyou 😊

    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!

      Hi Lindy! I am so glad you love the flatbread! You can easily make a double batch and store it in the fridge, in a ziploc bag.

    Living in Spain for just under a year & still not used to the groceries they have here, I am anxious to use your recipe to make my own flat bread. It’s hard to find here!

    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.

    Welp — looks like I’ll be adding flatbread to my list of things to make! I love homemade bread and find making it so therapeutic. I use flatbreads for mini pizzas quite often, so this is an awesome recipe to have up my sleeve. And at 30 minutes? I can’t even believe that! What a win.

    Fascinating! I’ve never seen bread made with a sour cream or yogurt based component. I don’t use self-rising flour myself, but even with that taken into account this sounds wonderfully simple and intriguing. Thanks for posting such an interesting recipe! Cheers.

    Anything that requires only a few inexpensive ingredients and I am in! These look perfect to make little pizzas for the kids lunchboxes. We also love Indian dishes, so making these to go with them is great. I love how fast and easy it is. We can’t wait to eat them up!
