It is a fantastic, colorful appetizer, side dish, or a healthy snacking alternative that is simple to prepare and packed with nutrition.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup finely grated carrots (squeezed dry in a towel)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic butter (for brushing)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the grated carrots, mozzarella, and Cheddar cheese. Add the Greek yogurt and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.
- Knead and Divide: Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 2 minutes until smooth. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
- Roll the Flatbreads: Using a rolling pin, roll each portion into a circle or oval shape, about 1/4-inch thick.
- Cook on Griddle: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Brush one side of a flatbread with olive oil and place it in the hot pan. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until bubbles form and the bottom is golden-brown. Brush the top with oil, flip, and cook the other side for 3 minutes.
- Finish with Garlic Butter: Remove from the skillet and immediately brush with melted garlic butter. Serve warm.
Tips and Notes
- Squeeze the Carrots: Carrots contain a lot of water. Make sure to wrap the grated carrots in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out all excess moisture before adding them to the dough, or the dough will be too sticky.
- Yogurt Secret: Plain Greek yogurt gives the dough a soft, chewy texture without needing yeast or long rise times.
