Jamie Oliver Flatbread With Yogurt
Jamie Oliver’s flatbread recipe is an easy, no-yeast bread made with plain yogurt and self-rising flour. The dough comes together quickly and is cooked in a hot pan, creating a golden, slightly crispy exterior with a soft, chewy interior. These flatbreads are perfect for beginners and can be customized with herbs, spices, or toppings.

Ingredients
- Self-rising flour (250g): The leavening agent is already in the flour.
- Plain yogurt (150g): Adds moisture and tanginess to the bread.
- Salt (a pinch): Enhances the flavor of the flatbread.
- Olive oil (optional): For brushing the cooked flatbreads, if desired.
Instructions
Step 1: Make the dough
- In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and a pinch of salt.
- Add the yogurt and mix until a rough dough forms.
Step 2: Knead the dough
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 2–3 minutes until smooth and soft.
Step 3: Divide and shape
- Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
- Flatten each ball with a rolling pin or your hands to create flat rounds, about ½ cm thick.
Step 4: Cook the flatbreads
- Heat a dry frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook each flatbread for 1–2 minutes per side, or until puffed up and golden brown.
Step 5: Serve warm
- Brush with olive oil, if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite dips, spreads, or toppings.
