Ingredients you'll need for Quick and Easy Flatbreads
- Greek yogurt: For a softer, more pliable dough and a richer, chewier texture due to its higher protein and lower moisture content. Regular yogurt can be used, but because it is waterier, the dough may require adjusting with more flour to achieve a similar consistency.
- Baking powder: Makes the flatbreads puffy during the cooking process, resulting in a softer and airier finished product.
