2-Ingredient No-Yeast Flatbread Recipe You Can Make at Home

Friends, I’ve been getting creative in the kitchen lately. With many of us looking to cut costs and avoid extra trips to the store, I’m focusing on recipes that use pantry staples and ingredients we already have on hand.

Kids especially love these warm, soft, fluffy flatbreads with a light char. They’re fun to make together—measuring, mixing and rolling is a great activity for a rainy day, school break, or anytime you need to entertain the little ones at home.

Recipe Tools

• Mixing bowl
• Skillet or frying pan
• Rolling pin (or use your hands)
• Flour for dusting

How To Make Flatbread

1. Combine the self-raising flour and natural yogurt in a mixing bowl. Add the olive oil and any optional add-ins if using, and mix until a rough dough forms.
2. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead briefly—about a minute—until it comes together.
3. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each into a ball.
4. Flatten each ball and use a rolling pin to roll into 10–12 cm (3–4 inch) rounds, dusting with flour as needed to prevent sticking.
5. Heat a skillet or frying pan until very hot, add a little oil if desired, and cook each flatbread for 1–2 minutes per side until puffed and lightly charred. Adjust cooking time for thicker or thinner breads.
6. Repeat until all the flatbreads are cooked and serve warm.

Yogurt Bread Recipe Tips

• For crispier edges, roll the dough thinner and cook a touch longer.
• You can double or triple the recipe—use two skillets to speed up cooking.
• Cook time depends on thickness and size; if unsure, start with less time and increase as needed.
• If using an air fryer, temperatures vary by model—start with less time, check for doneness, then add more if necessary.

Recipe Variations

Make a plain batch and divide the dough so everyone can add their own flavors while rolling. A few mix-in ideas:

• Thyme
• Basil
• Parsley
• Cayenne pepper
• Rosemary
• Black pepper
• Stone House seasoning (or your favorite seasoning blend)

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with squash or vegetable soups for a hearty meal.
• Pair with bean soups or dips for a simple lunch.
• Use as a base for spreads like hummus or other savory toppings.
