Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat for a healthier option)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional for a slightly sweet touch)
- ¾ cup plain yogurt (or sour cream)
- ¼ cup warm water (adjust as needed)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter)
- Optional: Fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or garlic powder for flavor
Step 1: Preparing the Dough
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar (if using). Stir everything together with a fork or whisk until well mixed. The combination of baking powder and baking soda will act as leavening agents, so no yeast is needed, and the bread will puff up as it cooks.
- Add the Wet Ingredients: Create a well in the center of your dry ingredients and add the yogurt and olive oil. Gradually pour in the warm water while mixing. Use your hands or a wooden spoon to bring the dough together. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If it’s too dry, add a little more water; if it’s too sticky, sprinkle in a bit more flour.
Step 2: Shaping the Bread
- Form the Dough: Once the dough comes together, transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Gently knead it for 1-2 minutes—just enough to make it smooth and pliable. You don’t need to overwork it.
- Divide the Dough: Divide the dough into 4-6 equal portions, depending on how large or small you want your bread rounds. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten it with your hands or a rolling pin to about ¼-inch thickness. The rounds should look like small, thick pancakes.
Step 3: Cooking the Bread (No Oven Needed!)
