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!
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.
How to make 2-ingredient bread
This is an overview with step-by-step photos. Full ingredients & instructions are in the recipe card below.
Step 1- Combine the flour and yogurt with a wooden spoon in a large bowl and mix well.
Step 2- Press the dough into a circular shape. Divide it into 8 portions.
Step 3- Roll out the dough balls into a circular shape using a rolling pin.
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.

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine your self-rising flour with Greek yogurt and mix well, until combined. Use your hands to incorporate the flour and yogurt and form a ball of dough.

I am really happy to come across this recipe
I just started my health eating life style because that am eating more of carb my stomach is just getting bigger and my body getting slim 🙃 I don’t know the right food to cook for a healthy lifestyle 🙃
Hi Marion, I’m so glad you’ve been able to find some recipes to help you on your journey. If you’re looking for specifically low carb recipes, or just healthier recipes in general, there’s definitely a lot for you to try here.
Do you have a recipe for gluten-free self-rising flour?
Almond flour preferred
This works with almond flour, Joan. Same amount as the self rising flour, and you don’t need to add baking powder. I would suggest a pinch of salt for flavor.
Can’t wait to try this recipe!
Let us know how you go!
Wow, these were so easy and came out SO well! Love having this as an easy way for homemade tortillas, they’re delicious. I’d recommend adding the salt to it to give it some more flavor.
It’s so easy right!?
Love this recipe! I had 2% yogurt, so added a bit of olive oil, probably would not need to if using full fat yogurt.
They roll out easily and are easy to cook and freeze.
Love to hear that, Sue- good thinking on adding a little oil, too. Thanks for making my recipe 🙂
Haven’t tried this but if you use white flour ,it really isn’t healthy, right? I want a healthy flatbread that’s good. Probably challenging?
Not necessarily, Deborah- you can use whole wheat self rising flour.
Please, can this recipe be made with Greek style yoghurt? Where I live, I can’t find authentic Greek yoghurt.
Hi Sam, it just depends how the Greek style yogurt is made. It should still work but the dough might not have as much structure and it might be a little sticky. Worth a shot though!
Another winner! I’ve been using your two ingredient pizza dough for flatbread because I didn’t know this existed for whatever reason, this is great! So soft and so puffy! Thank you!
This was fantastic!!! I made my self rising flour from a link that you had posted from your site because I didn’t have enough from my own regular bag of self rising flour. These turned out so well. I used my Dutch oven pot but cooked them on my stovetop. I made some melted butter, mined garlic and garlic salt with parsley and placed on top. Then I added Greek chicken on top which was made from boneless skinless chicken thighs and made a homemade tzatziki sauce. We also had baked sliced onions and red and orange peppers seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic and herb seasoning along with some Greek potatoes cooked in the oven. This was a delicious meal!!! Thank you so much. The flatbread was so easy to make!!!
couldn’t find video
It’s in the recipe card, Rose- under ‘video’
I used this recipe and it worked out great. Yes I did use plain greek yoghurt, yes was a tad sticky but with little more flour it was fine. Thanks for the suggestions on how to eat and use it.
Love the simplicity
These are a huge hit. My only problem is that we ate the whole batch in one meal, and there are only two of us!!!! I even enjoyed the process of rolling them out, and cooking them in a pan!! This was so much fun, it was fast and easy. I love your recipies as a new cook, you do not require special/wierd ingredients or weird equipment. I love to try your stuff!!!!! Thank you so much for creating these addictive things!!!
You are so welcome!
Added a little garlic powder and had to use quite a bit of extra flour while rolling them out but these were absolutely delicious and will be a staple in my meal prep from now on!
Perfect! So happy you liked this one Lauryn, and thanks for taking the time to share your tips.
I was hoping for a heart healthy flatbread. I took one bite and it was so salty I could hardly eat it! I didn’t add the salt into the recipe. Apparently self rising flour is packed with sodium!! I will try it again by using All purpose flour with a little baking powder and the yogurt.
Thanks.
Hi Laura- that’s abit strange, as self rising flour does have salt in it, but nowhere near enough to make the dough salty. I’m wondering if you used a salty yogurt or perhaps a brand that adds too much salt to it.
I just made this today. It turned out delicious and it was very easy. I did have to add a bit more yogurt since I used fat free Fage Total and that yogurt tends to be quite thick and somewhat dry. I added seasoned salt instead of regular salt. So good. Thank you for this recipe!
