Recipe FAQ

What flour works best for these flatbreads?

Self-rising flour is ideal as it provides the necessary leavening, making the flatbreads soft and fluffy without extra yeast.

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt’s thickness helps with dough consistency, but strained regular yogurt can substitute if thickened appropriately.

How should I cook the flatbreads to get the best texture?

Cook on a medium-high non-stick skillet brushed lightly with olive oil until golden spots form, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Are these flatbreads suitable for vegan diets?

Using coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt makes them vegan, though the texture may vary slightly.

Can I store the flatbreads after cooking?

Yes, keep them warm wrapped in a towel or store cooled flatbreads in an airtight container for up to two days; reheat before serving.
