5-Ingredient Magic
Za'atar Yogurt Flatbread
This impossibly easy two-ingredient dough becomes pillowy flatbread topped with herby za'atar and tangy yogurt. No yeast, no waiting, just mix and cook.
Ingredients
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plus extra for topping)
- 3 tablespoons za'atar spice blend
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Flaky sea salt
Preparation
This viral TikTok dough technique actually works, and when you top it with za'atar and yogurt, you get something that tastes like you spent hours making it. The yogurt makes the dough incredibly tender and adds a subtle tang.
Method
- Mix the flour and 1 cup Greek yogurt in a bowl until a shaggy dough forms, then knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and roll each into a thin circle about ¼-inch thick.
- Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat and cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes per side until puffy and golden brown.
- Brush the hot flatbreads with olive oil and sprinkle generously with za'atar.
- Serve warm with dollops of extra Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
These flatbreads are best eaten fresh and warm, when they're still soft and pillowy. The earthy, herbal za'atar paired with cool yogurt creates a flavor combination that's endlessly craveable. Perfect for scooping dips or eating on their own.
