Make delicious, soft flatbread with just two ingredients. No yeast required! This quick and easy recipe is perfect for homemade naan, homemade pizza crust, soft tacos and burgers.
This 2-ingredient flat bread is so darn easy to make, and it’s SO GOOD!
For years, whenever we have Indian, we always serve store-bought naan with dinner. Since discovering this gem of a recipe, we don’t bother with the store-bought naan anymore. We just whip up a batch of this homemade flatbread in the last few minutes that dinner is cooking. It’s perfect for soaking up sauce.
It’s so delicious it’s hard to believe it’s only two ingredients.
We’ve also used this recipe to make homemade soft pretzels and pretzel bites, and they were AMAZING!
Note:
You do need to use self-rising flour, but I’ll tell you how to make that with regular flour, baking powder and salt. And you do need to use Greek yogurt as opposed to regular yogurt because of the thicker consistency.
Apparently, you can use sour cream instead of Greek yogurt, but I haven’t tried that substitution yet. When I do, I’ll report back.

Like our no-yeast pizza dough, yeast is not required because baking powder (an ingredient in self-rising flour) acts as the leavening agent.
Ok! Let me show you how easy it is to make.

- self-rising flour (to make your own, see below)
- Greek yogurt
- Mixing bowl
- knife
- rolling pin
- non-stick pan or oiled cast iron pan
How To Make Self-Rising Flour:
Sift 2 cups all purpose flour. Add 1 tablespoon baking powder and 1 tsp salt. Whisk together well to combine. Use 1 and 3/4 cups of this mixture for this recipe.
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, stir the yogurt and self-rising flour together. Use your hands to combine the ingredients well and then pack it into a ball.
- Put the ball of dough on a lightly floured counter and knead for a few minutes until you can form a fairly smooth ball. It won’t be perfectly smooth, but that’s ok.
- Using a knife, divide the ball into 8 even pieces.
- With a rolling pin, roll each piece into a thin oval.
- If cooking in a non-stick pan: Heat pan over medium heat. Place flattened dough in pan and heat for 2 minutes on each side, or until dark brown spots appear.
- If cooking in a cast iron pan: Wipe pan with cooking oil and a paper towel. Place flattened dough in pan and heat for a minute and a half on each side, or until dark brown spots appear.
Remove from pan and allow to cool slightly before serving.
Mmmmmm! Delicious!

To store warm flatbread, place in a paper bag.
To store cooled flatbread, store in a sealed ziplock bag.

No yogurt, can you substitute nut milk or water?
Thx
Jackie Currie
I don’t think you can for this recipe, Annmarie. Even regular yogurt is too thin, as opposed to Greek yogurt, so I don’t imagine milk or water would work. I did find these recipes for flour and milk, and flour and water: https://www.sweetashoney.co/flour-tortillas-wraps-recipe/ and https://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-twoingredient-biscuits-74847

Could you use an alternative type of flour for a gluten free recipe?
Jackie Currie
I did some googling and found this recipe for gluten free, 2 ingredient pizza dough, so I’m guessing you could sub gluten-free flour for the AP flour in my recipe, Shelly. Can’t guarantee it, but it might be worth a try: https://www.keyingredient.com/recipes/14380221/2-ingredient-gluten-free-vegan-pizza-dough/

I can’t remember where I got this recipe from before but it works for sure. I always use it and I make my own S/R flour just like you said to do. Thanks for this recipe …

I brushed mine with garlic butter while still hot and it was lovely , going o add chili flakes to the mixture next time

This was really good. I made a slight change. I increased the flour to a full 2 cups and used 1 1/8 cups of Greek yogurt (2%). I used a cast iron pan and found that 1 minute (or less) per side was sufficient.. It was fluffy and delicious and looked great too. Will definitely be making this again.
