This 2 ingredient Yogurt Flatbread recipe is a gamechanger! It's healthy, high in protein and doesn't require any yeast. You'll get soft delicious pita bread perfect for making wraps and dipping into your favorite dips…yum!
Trust me when I say, there's nothing better than making your own bread. This yogurt flatbread is so easy to make with 2 ingredients and doesn't need any yeast! I love making them for a quick lunch or dinner as they’re so versatile and can be used in so many different ways. This is an easy cheat method to make pita bread, except the secret ingredient is Greek yogurt!
I love memories of traveling to Greece where I ate fresh pita bread everyday and didn't get sick of it! Ways in which you can use this flatbread are of course to make wraps or a gyros filled with your favorite fillings, like my veggie Greek wrap. But it doesn't end there…you can also make flatbread pizza or serve the flatbread with a mezze table and use it for dipping. Some dips include a delicious hummus, whipped feta dip or tirokafteri to keep it Greek style 🙂
Greek yogurt is not only healthy as its high in protein, calcium and probiotics, but it's the secret weapon to creating soft chewy flatbread and other dough recipes. The second ingredient is self-raising flour which has a leavening agent so you won't need any yeast or long kneading and resting times.
For meal prep, I love to make a double batch of this recipe, freeze it and defrost when I want to eat them or when I need a quick meal ready in no time. They taste just as fresh 😊. More homemade bread recipes to try are my easy no knead focaccia and barbari bread which is Persian flatbread.
I also use this same dough to make different variations such as protein bagels, naan and even protein pizza. Don't worry, you can't taste the flavor of the yogurt!

Ingredients and Substitutions
- Greek yogurt is the base of our simple 2 ingredient dough. It makes the dough soft and chewy and moist in the best way. Always use plain Greek yogurt which isn’t flavored. It can be full fat or non fat - I’ve used non-fat yogurt in my recipe
- Self-raising flour is the handy flour which already has a leaving agent to help the flatbread rise without any yeast. If you don't have self-raising flour, don't worry as you can use all-purpose flour with a teaspoon of baking powder added
- Salt and extra virgin olive oil are optional and added for more flavor and for cooking. You can also add them as toppings along with herbs, minced garlic or even melted butter, but I'm an olive oil girl all the way ☺️
How to make Yogurt Flatbread
This yogurt flatbread uses 2 ingredients and is easy to make. Follow my simple steps below.
Add self raising flour to a large bowl, a pinch of salt and stir through
Add yogurt, combine with a wooden spoon then use one hand and mix in the bowl until it forms a rough ball (as pictured)
Place dough on a clean lightly floured surface and knead for 3-5 minutes. If too sticky or wet, sprinkle lightly with flour as needed
Dough should be smooth. Leave to rest for 10 minutes
Cut dough into 4 equal pieces and roll them into balls
Dust your surface with flour. Use a rolling pin to create a flat circle shape, one ball at a time (approx 16-18 cms / 6-7 inches)
Heat a pan over medium-high heat, spray olive oil (or lightly brush with oil). Add one piece and cook for 2-3 minutes until some bubbles appear
Flip and cook the second side for 1-2 minutes and its ready! Repeat for remaining pieces

- Heat the pan to medium heat before adding the flattened pieces of dough to ensure they cook evenly and get those lovely puffed bubbles

- The possibilities and toppings are endless! Try adding herbs such as parsley and oregano, minced garlic or cheese
