How to Make Savory Whole Wheat & Yogurt Griddle Flatbreads

1. Prepare Dry Ingredients

Start by whisking together the unbleached all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, kosher salt, sugar, and baking powder in a large bowl. This mixture lays the foundation for your flatbreads, ensuring they have the right balance of flavor and texture.

2. Combine with Yogurt

Create a well in the center of your dry ingredients and add the yogurt. Using your hands or a rubber spatula, blend the yogurt into the flour mixture. If the dough feels too dry, don't hesitate to add an extra spoonful of yogurt to bring it together. The goal here is to achieve a cohesive dough that's neither too sticky nor too dry.

3. Knead the Dough

Turn the dough out onto a flour-dusted work surface and knead it for about 30 seconds. You'll know it's ready when it becomes smooth and elastic to the touch. This brief kneading helps to develop the gluten, which gives the flatbreads their structure.

4. Shape and Roll

Divide the dough into six equal pieces and shape each one into a round. Use a rolling pin and your hands to flatten each round to about ⅛ inch thick. This thickness is crucial for achieving the right texture—thin enough to cook through quickly, but thick enough to remain soft and pliable.

5. Cook the Flatbreads

Preheat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, place a flatbread in the skillet and cook for about 1 minute on each side. You'll know it's done when it becomes slightly puffy and lightly browned with charred spots. These visual cues indicate that the flatbread is cooked through and has developed a delightful, slightly smoky flavor.

6. Clean the Pan

After cooking each batch, wipe out the pan to keep it clean for the next round. This helps maintain an even cooking surface and prevents any burnt flour from affecting the flavor of your flatbreads.

7. Cool and Serve

Cool the flatbreads on a rack and enjoy them within an hour or two for the best taste and texture. If needed, you can reheat them in a hot oven with a brush of olive oil to refresh their warmth and softness.

Pitfalls and tips

Resting the Dough

Allow the dough to rest for at least 30 minutes after mixing to relax the gluten and fully hydrate the flour, leading to a more tender flatbread.

Cooking Surface and Heat

Use a preheated heavy griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for charred spots and proper puffiness in the bread.

Hydration

Adjust the amount of yogurt or water to ensure the dough is soft and pliable but not sticky, accounting for whole wheat's higher absorption.

Rolling Technique

Roll out the flatbreads to an even thickness and let the dough rest if it springs back, for uniform cooking and easier handling.

Quality of Ingredients

Choose a high-quality, finely ground whole wheat flour and fresh, consistent yogurt for a better texture and flavor in your flatbreads.
