Stovetop Flatbread

Ingredients:

– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon sugar
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1 cup plain yogurt or buttermilk
– 2 tablespoons olive oil (optional for softer bread)
– Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions:

1. **Prepare the Dough:**
– In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder.
– Add the yogurt (and olive oil if using) and mix until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
– Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
– Cover the dough with a clean towel and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.

2. **Shape the Flatbread:**
– Divide the dough into equal portions, depending on how large you want your flatbreads.
– Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it with your hands or a rolling pin into a round shape about 1/4 inch thick.

3. **Cook the Flatbread:**
– Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
– Add a small amount of butter or oil to the skillet.
– Place one of the flattened dough rounds into the skillet.
– Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots appear, and the bread puffs slightly.
– Remove the flatbread from the skillet and repeat with the remaining dough.

4. **Serve:**
– Brush the cooked flatbreads with a little melted butter or olive oil if desired.
– Serve warm, as a side to your meal, or use as a wrap for fillings.

This flatbread is versatile and can be paired with various dishes or used as a base for different toppings. Enjoy your homemade stovetop flatbread!
