    About the Recipe

    Flatbreads are a big part of Indian cuisine. They are part of everyday diet in many regions. I love making homemade flatbread like this rotli or this sweet roti because they are easy to make and delicious.

    Today's flatbread recipe is from, MasterChef, a very popular competitive cooking show around the world. These quick yoghurt flatbread are like an easy version of naan. They are soft, fluffy and delicious.

    Using yogurt and baking powder gives them a nice tangy flavor with an amazing texture. You can serve these yogurt naan with a spicy curry or with a yummy dip. Hummus, guacamole or this creamy caramelized onion dip will be lovely.

    Ingredients

    For the details of the exact quantities of each ingredient and the list of ingredients needed, check the printable recipe card below.

    Here are the ingredients you need to make this simple flatbread recipe aka yogurt naan:

    • Flour - using all purpose flour gives the best soft and fluffy texture. But I love to add some whole wheat flour to add fiber. You can also use self rising flour - in which case do not forget to adjust the amount of baking powder and salt in the recipe.
    • Semolina flour or fine sooji.
    • Yogurt - use plain regular or Greek yogurt. Either full fat or 2% yogurt will work in the recipe.
    • Baking powder and salt.
    Ingredients needed, details in recipe card.

    Instructions

    For the detailed instructions on how to make the recipe with exact timings, check the printable recipe card below.

    Here is how to make easy homemade flatbread with yogurt:

    Combine flour, baking powder, salt, semolina flour and whisk to combine. Stir in the Greek yogurt and just enough water to make a soft, pliable dough. Cover and set aside.

    When ready to make the flatbreads, gently knead the dough for couple of minutes until nice and smooth. Then divide the dough into 8 equal pieces.

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough piece into a 6~8" round flatbread. It is OK if it is not a perfect circle. You can also roll into an oblong shape, traditional shape for naans.

    Heat a griddle on medium high heat. Place the rolled flatbread on the hot griddle and cook until golden brown spots form on both sides. If desired, brush with oil while cooking.

    Keep the cooked flatbreads warm wrapped in a kitchen towel until ready to serve. Repeat with the remaining dough. Enjoy warm or at room temperature with your favorite dip or curry.

    Yes, they can be made up to 3 days ahead of time. Cool the flatbreads completely and then store them in the fridge wrapped in plastic wrap. You can also freeze them by layering them between parchment papers.

      Lol for the PhD comment. Watching food demos from popular chefs of food network must have been a nice experience. This recipe reminds me of bhature I made for one of the mega BMs with lots of yogurt, though those were deep fried.

      It is really tough to finalise a list from Master Chef recipes. This flat bread looks awesome. With yogurt, this must be super soft.

      this reminds me of the Turkish flatbread I made before called Bazlama except that one uses a small amount of yeast instead of baking powder. However this looks so soft fluffy and delicious
