Authentic Greek Flatbread: No-Oven Recipe

Milk Mixture Preparation. In a small pan, combine the milk, sugar, and olive oil. Place the pan on the stove and heat the mixture until it reaches a lukewarm temperature of 30-37°C (86-98°F).

Yeast Activation. Remove the pan from the stove and dissolve the yeast in the mixture. Set it aside for 15 minutes to activate the yeast.

Dough Formation. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour with Greek herbs, salt, and black pepper. Add the yeast mixture and mix the ingredients until a dough forms. Knead the dough for 5-8 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.

Dough Rising. Once the dough is smooth, place it in a lightly oiled bowl and cover it with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rest and rise in a warm, draught-free area for 40 minutes, or until it doubles in size.

Dough Division & Shaping. After the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 6 equal parts. Roll each part into a circle that is the size of your frying pan.

Pan Frying. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. If you don't have a non-stick pan, you may need to use a little bit of oil to prevent the bread from sticking to the pan. Bake the flatbreads on each side for 1-2 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and puffed up. Rest on the cooling rack.

Serving Suggestions. Serve the flatbreads warm, with your favourite dips, spreads, toppings. Enjoy!Check out my recipe for Tzatziki.
