Easy yogurt flatbreads
These flatbreads are such a useful recipe to have up your sleeve, and you can use whatever flour you have to hand. Each type of yogurt and flour has different hydration levels, so this recipe is just a guide – if you find the dough is too dry, add splashes of water until it comes together; if you find it's too wet, simply add more flour. Once you've got the hang of the basic recipe, feel free to experiment by adding some of the optional extras to the dough. The flatbreads are also delicious brushed with a little melted butter as they come out of the pan.

Method
Step
Combine 400g (3 cups/14oz) flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, and 1 tsp salt in a bowl, then stir in 1 tsp olive oil and 200g (1 cup/7oz) skyr, Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt (add any additional extras now too). Mix with your hands until the dough comes together, then tip onto a flour-dusted surface and knead for a couple of minutes until you have a smooth dough. Divide the dough into 6 equal balls, cover with a clean tea (dish) towel, and allow to rest for at least 10 minutes.
Step
Meanwhile, set a griddle pan or non-stick frying pan (skillet) over a high heat.
Step
Roll each dough ball into a flatbread shape about 20cm (8 inches) long and 2mm (1⁄8 inch) thick. If your pan isn't non-stick or you want a slightly crisp finish to your flatbreads, brush both sides of the flatbreads with a little olive oil.
Step
When the pan is searingly hot, add a flatbread to the pan and cook for 60–90 seconds until char marks appear, then flip it over and cook the other side until nicely charred too. Wrap the flatbread in a tea (dish) towel while you cook the rest.
