Description

Bread in 10 minutes no oven required! This skillet flatbread is light, soft, and golden with a buttery finish that tastes like it came from a bakery. Whether you’re new to bread making or simply short on time, this recipe delivers irresistible results with minimal effort.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (480 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (220 g) plain yogurt (regular or Greek; adjust water slightly if using Greek)
  • 250 ml water (about ¾ cup)
  • 10 g baking powder (one standard packet)
  • 8 g fine salt (about 1 teaspoon)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) vegetable oil
  • 3½ teaspoons (about 50 ml) avocado oil – optional for brushing or light frying
  • Butter – for brushing the warm bread after cooking

Instructions

  1. Mix the Base
    In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, water, and baking powder until smooth.
  2. Form the Dough
    Add flour, salt, and vegetable oil gradually. Knead gently until a soft, pliable dough forms avoid over-kneading to keep the bread tender.
  3. Portion & Rest
    Divide dough into 10 equal balls. Cover with a damp towel for 5–10 minutes to prevent drying.
  4. Roll & Shape
    On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a round disc about the size of a dessert plate.
  5. Cook on the Stovetop
    Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook each disc for 2–3 minutes per side, turning once, until puffed and golden brown. No extra oil is needed, but you can lightly brush the pan with avocado oil if desired.
  6. Finish & Serve
    Brush hot bread with butter for a rich finish. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • If using Greek yogurt, reduce water slightly to maintain a soft but not sticky dough.
  • Dough can be made a few hours ahead; keep covered to prevent drying.
  • Freeze cooked breads in a zip-top bag for up to a month. Reheat in a dry skillet or toaster.
