Avocado oil has a similar flavor profile.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

yogurt

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein.

Combine flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.

Dissolve yeast in warm water and let sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.

Mix the yeast mixture into the flour mixture.

Add olive oil and yogurt, and knead until smooth, about 10 minutes.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape into balls.

Roll each ball into a thin circle on a floured surface, about 1/8 inch thick.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

Cook each yufka for 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly browned and puffed.

Transfer to a plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm.
