Ingredients (Makes 1 Loaf)

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or use a gluten-free blend)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup plain yogurt (full-fat gives the best texture)
  • Optional Mix-Ins:
    • 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (like rosemary, thyme, parsley)
    • 1/4 cup sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or everything bagel seasoning
    • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Parmesan, or feta)

How to Make It

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add the yogurt and stir until a shaggy dough forms. If it feels dry, mix in 1–2 tbsp of milk.

Step 2: Knead & Shape

  1. Lightly flour your work surface and knead the dough gently for 2–3 minutes until smooth.
  2. Shape into a round loaf or divide into 4–6 smaller rolls.

Step 3: Cook on the Stovetop

  1. Heat a large non-stick skillet or pan with a lid over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with oil or butter.
  2. Place the dough in the pan and cover with the lid.
  3. Cook for 10–12 minutes on one side until golden, then flip and cook the other side for another 10–12 minutes. Use a toothpick to test for doneness.
  4. Let cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.

Tips for Success

  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet with a tight-fitting lid for even cooking.
  • Add herbs and cheese directly into the dough for an extra flavor boost.
  • Store leftovers wrapped at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer storage.
