Made throughout the Middle East, non-yeasted flatbreads are the definition of quick bread, taking little time to prepare. We added yogurt to a simple whole wheat-enriched dough for its tangy bite and tenderizing qualities. Bread flour makes up the bulk of the dough and gives these flatbreads pleasant chew, but you can substitute an equal amount of all-purpose flour. If you do use all-purpose, you will likely have to add a couple extra tablespoons of flour during kneading because the dough will be slightly wetter. To cook the flatbreads, you'll need a 12-inch cast-iron skillet; a 10-inch cast-iron skillet will work, too, but there will be a little less room for maneuvering the rounds when flipping them. Brush the breads hot out of the skillet with melted plain butter or with one of the flavored butters below.

Tip

Don’t leave any floury bits in the bowl during mixing. All the flour must be incorporated so that the dough isn't too sticky to work with. Don't overflour the counter when rolling out the rounds; excess flour will scorch in the skillet.
