Ingredients

For the Dough:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup plain yogurt (or Greek yogurt)
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (optional, for softer dough)

For the Topping:

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of cheddar and mozzarella)
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
• 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Dough

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. Add the yogurt, milk, and olive oil (if using). Mix until a dough forms.
3. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 2–3 minutes until smooth. Cover with a clean towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 2: Roll Out the Flatbreads

1. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
2. Roll each portion into a thin round or oval shape (about 1/4-inch thick) on a floured surface.

Step 3: Cook the Flatbreads

1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
2. Place one flatbread onto the hot skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and puffed. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Step 4: Add the Cheddar Cheese

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Place the cooked flatbreads on a baking sheet. Brush each with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder (if using).
3. Evenly spread the shredded cheddar cheese over the flatbreads.

Step 5: Bake

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve
