1

Place lukewarm water, sugar, and yeast into a bowl and stir lightly.

2

Let the mixture sit aside for 10 minutes until bubbling and foamy.

3

Add Greek yogurt to the mixture. If unavailable, use thicker yogurt or regular yogurt.

4

Add salt and olive oil, stirring until there are as few lumps as possible in the yogurt.

5

Add flour and stir until a dough forms.

6

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, coating it in flour as it will be quite sticky.

7

Use a bench scraper to help knead and dry the dough.

8

Divide the dough into 10 equal portions and shape them into balls.

9

Let the balls rest for 15 minutes, during which they will rise.

10

Roll out each ball until it's less than a quarter of an inch thick, ensuring it's not so thin that you can see your hand underneath.

11

Heat a pan with some olive oil.

12

Cook each rolled flatbread in the hot pan for approximately 2 minutes until golden on one side, then flip and repeat on the other side.
