Honey is a natural sweetener with additional nutrients.

Combine bread flour, all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, and yeast in a stand mixer bowl.

Add olive oil, water, and yogurt to the dry ingredients.

Mix on low speed for 2-3 minutes, then increase speed to knead for 7-8 minutes until a sticky dough forms.

Oil a bowl and transfer the dough, folding it under to shape it.

Cover the bowl with a plastic bag and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in size.

Divide the dough into about 12 balls, each weighing around 70-75 grams.

Let the balls rest for 15 minutes, covered, to relax the dough.

Heat a pan on low and roll out each ball into an oval shape.

Cook each piece in the pan, flipping when bubbles form, until puffed and lightly browned.
