Easy homemade round flatbread with Greek Yogurt/Skyr Yogurt (Pain Plat au yaourt, recette express) . This delicious pan grilled mini bread is super quick, easy and so so good! It can be made with Skyr Yogurt too.
Every culture around the world has its own version of flatbread, each one unique in its ingredients or cooking style – and honestly, every single one I’ve tried has been delicious. Today, we’re making a super easy pan-grilled flatbread that’s perfect for a quick breakfast or dinner.
This lovely, soft round bread comes together in under 30 minutes and pairs beautifully with just about anything. Cut it in half and stuff it with meat, vegetables, or even a generous scoop of potato salad with mayonnaise (check out this one: Russian Potato Salad (salad Olivier) – it’s simple, satisfying, and endlessly versatile.
Ingredients & Substitutions
- Flour – I prefer using Italian type 00, but all-purpose flour works too
- Greek Yogurt , pain – for this flatbread you would need plain Greek Yogurt. If you wish you can also make this bread with Skyr Yogurt. However, as Skyr is much thicker than regular Greek Yogurt, you would need to dilute it in some water. Mix 125 ml water with 160g Skyr. Stir to combine well, then replace the Greek Yogurt with it.
- Baking soda – to make things bubbly
- Pinch of salt – just for taste
Optional ingredients:
- Butter, optional for brushing
- Parsley, finely minced , optional for brushing
- Cloves of garlic, finely minced, optional for brushing
How to make pan grilled flatbread?
1st: In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients. Knead a soft, non stick dough. Next, divide the dough in 6-8 even parts.
2nd: Roll out each dough piece into a thin circle (approx. 1 cm or 1/2 inch.). Preheat your grilling pan, then place one flat bread dough onto the pan.
Flip when the dough starts to bubble. Keep for a minute or two, then remove from pan. Repeat for remaining dough. Stack flatbreads one over the other to keep their softness.
FLATBREAD IDEAS
Preparing flatbread is easy and quick, deciding what to pair it with might be more difficult (at least for me). Here are a few suggestions to get you started.
Healthy and easy flatbread toppings: Arugula, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella cheese balls; Blue cheese and prunes, Grilled peaches with honey; Melted butter, garlic and parsley topping;
Flatbread Pizza for Dinner : top each flatbread with tomato pasta, shredded mozzarella cheese and some fresh basil leaves. Pop in the oven/air fryer for 5-10 minutes and enjoy.
What to serve with flatbread: Flatbread is delicious plain in addition to main meals (like this easy Braised Beef Recipe), salads (like paired with Persian Shirazi Salad or stuffed with Loaded Potato salad with Mayo)
Round Yogurt Flat Bread (Pan Grilled)
Equipment
- 1 grill pan
Ingredients
- 460 g flour, type 00 (or all purpose)
- 160 g Greek Yogurt, plain
- 120 ml water
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 50 g butter, optional for brushing
- 3 tbsp. parsley, finely minced optional for brushing
- 1 cloves of garlic, finely minced optional for brushing
- sea salt, optional
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl add Greek Yogurt (skyr yogurt) and baking soda. Stir well to combine until mix gets bubbly. Add water and stir again.
- Next, add remaining ingredients and knead a soft, non-stick dough. Divide the dough in 10 equal parts. Roll out each piece of dough on floured surface – it should be thin and round. Cover with a cloth to prevent dough from getting crusty.
- In the meantime, preheat grill pan on the stove top. When pan is hot place one piece of dough on it. When flatbread starts to bubble (see pics) it's ready to be flipped over (usually 1-2 min on my stove). Remove from pan and repeat for remaining dough.
- Stack flatbreads one over another. Serve plain or brushed with melted butter, mixed with finely chopped parsley, garlic and sea salt, if desired.
