Learn how to make 2-ingredient bread, and you won’t have to buy flatbread at the store again! Made with no yeast, it’s fluffy, pliable, and so versatile!

healthy flatbread.

Everyone needs a quick, easy, foolproof bread recipe that pairs with all sorts of dishes. My healthy flatbread ticks those boxes, and it’s become a weekly staple in our house!

With two (literally, two) ingredients, the bread is light and soft, perfect for dipping or scooping. If the base sounds familiar, it’s my Greek yogurt dough, which works so well for flatbread.

Why I love this recipe

  • It’s so darn easy. Just mix the ingredients into a dough, roll out the flatbreads, and cook them on the stove. It doesn’t get easier than this. 
  • Versatile. From pizzas to wraps and quesadillas, you can use this bread for every meal of the day. I’ll be sure to give you plenty of ideas later on.
  • No yeast needed. That also means you don’t have to activate the yeast, wait for the dough to rise, or knead it constantly!

★★★★★ REVIEW 

“This was very easy and tastes great. My family loved them as sandwich wraps in their lunchboxes, or a quick vehicle for Mexican fillings.” – Rosie

Key Ingredients

  • Self-rising flour. AKA all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt already added. If you don’t have any on hand, you can make your own with my simple homemade self-rising flour.  
  • Greek yogurt. The lower the fat content of your Greek yogurt, the better it will mix with the flour. Non-fat Greek yogurt worked the best for me, but reduced-fat and full-fat also worked. You can even use sour cream. I tried this recipe with natural plain yogurt, and unfortunately, the dough was WAY too sticky and never developed the proper texture.

Step 4- Cook the flatbread in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining flatbread.

Arman’s recipe tips

  • Know when to flip. Once you see little bubbles forming on the dough’s surface, that’s when it’s time to flip. 
  • Roll out the dough until 1/8 of an inch. This flatbread puffs up as it cooks, so don’t worry if it’s super thin.
  • Adjust the dough. If the dough is too thick, add more yogurt. If the dough is too thin, add more flour.
  • Make it dairy-free. Fermented coconut yogurt makes a great dairy-free substitution. 
  • Use whole wheat flour. Plan on adding a little extra yogurt. 
  • Add flavor. Brush a little olive oil or butter on the flatbread, and if you really want to take it up a notch, sprinkle on some minced garlic.

Storage instructions

To store: If you plan on eating your flatbread within 5 days, it can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container. If you want to keep it fresher for longer, refrigerate it for up to 2 weeks. 

To freeze: Place leftover flatbreads in a ziplock bag and freeze them for up to 6 months.

    1. Hi…I’ve never seen vegan Greek yogurt in any store. Can you tell me the brand you use and perhaps where I can purchase it?? Thank you so much!

    I use this recipe for all my dough recipes. Just made the naan bread added jalapeños to the dough and made a egg salad sandwich. So versatile

      Excellent recipe, easy and turns out perfect with little fuss. I added the 1/2 tsp of salt and it was too much for me. Next time no salt 🙂

      Thank you for sharing! ❤️

    I have made a lot of different recipes of flat bread. And this one is by far my favorite. No oil needed in the recipe or when you cook these. Very healthy and inexpensive to make. So glad I found this.
    Thank you,

    Thanks Arman, due to the time difference I did chill them before your reply!! oops. However, they were amazing, so thank you for the recipe. I thought when I cooked them, they would be too stiff to roll but I stored them in foil and what a result – AMAZING
