No-Yeast Whole Wheat Flatbread

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, plus more for dusting
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon fine salt
• 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for cooking
• 2/3 cup warm water, plus more as needed
• 2 tablespoons melted butter, for brushing (optional)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. Add the yogurt, olive oil, and warm water, and stir with a spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured counter and knead for about 3 to 4 minutes, adding a splash more water if it feels dry or a dusting of flour if it feels sticky, until you have a smooth, soft ball.
4. Cover the dough with a bowl or plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes; this relaxes the gluten so the flatbreads roll out easily without shrinking back.
5. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each into a ball.
6. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin round about 7 inches across and 1/8 inch thick.
7. Heat a dry cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until a drop of water flicked onto it sizzles and evaporates immediately.
8. Lay one flatbread in the hot, dry skillet and cook for 45 to 60 seconds, until small bubbles form on the surface and the underside has light golden brown spots.
9. Flip the flatbread and brush the cooked side lightly with olive oil, then cook the second side for another 45 to 60 seconds, until it too has golden brown spots and puffs slightly.
10. Stack cooked flatbreads under a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft while you cook the rest.
11. Brush the warm flatbreads with melted butter, if desired, before serving.
