Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Measuring Cups
  • Rolling Pin
  • Non-stick Skillet
  • Clean Kitchen Towel

Ingredients
  

  • All-purpose Flour 4 Cups
  • Warm Water 1.5 Cups
  • Greek Yogurt 1/2 Cup
  • Instant Yeast 1 Tbsp
  • Sugar 1 Tbsp
  • Salt 1 Tsp
  • Olive Oil 2 Tbsp

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the warm water and sugar in a bowl. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit. Wait five minutes until the mix looks very bubbly.
  • Add the Greek yogurt and olive oil to the bowl. Stir them gently until the mixture is quite smooth. This adds fat and moisture to your dough.
  • Mix in the flour and salt slowly. Use your wooden spoon to combine everything well. The dough will start to look shaggy and thick.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface. Do this for about eight minutes with your hands. The dough should feel very smooth and elastic.
  • Place the dough in an oiled bowl. Cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm spot for one hour.
  • Punch the dough down to release the air. Divide it into six equal-sized small balls. Let them rest for ten minutes on the counter.
  • Roll each ball into a flat circle. Make them about half an inch thick. Do not make them too thin or they won't puff.
  • Heat your skillet over medium heat. Place one circle of dough into the hot pan. Cook it for one minute until bubbles appear.
  • Flip the bread over to the other side. Watch it puff up like a big balloon. Cook for another minute until both sides are golden.

Notes

  • Use warm water to help the yeast grow fast.
  • Do not use hot water because it kills yeast.
  • Check your yeast date to ensure it is fresh.
  • Knead the dough until it is no longer sticky.
  • Let the dough rise in a very warm place.
  • Roll the dough circles with even pressure.
  • Wipe the pan if any flour starts to burn.
  • Keep cooked bread covered to stay very soft.
