Ingredients
- 3 cups flour
- 1 tsp salt
- Warm water (as needed)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 bowl strained yogurt
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
Method
- Mix flour, salt, and warm water in a bowl and knead until you get a soft dough.
- Divide the dough into walnut-sized balls, cover with a damp cloth, and rest for 15 minutes.
- Roll out each ball on a floured surface into thin flatbreads the size of a service plate.
- Cook the rolled dough on a hot, dry griddle or non-stick pan on both sides until lightly browned spots appear.
- Prepare garlic yogurt by mixing mashed garlic with strained yogurt.
- Melt butter in a small pan and lightly fry the red pepper flakes.
- Place the cooked flatbreads on a serving plate, drizzle with garlic yogurt and hot butter sauce, and serve warm.
Be careful not to dry out the flatbreads too much while cooking; keeping them slightly soft will enhance the taste.
