This easy homemade flatbread is a healthier twist on a beloved classic.

The garlicky butter brushed over the top adds a luxurious finish that makes each piece taste indulgent without being heavy. Serve it warm from the skillet, sprinkled with parsley or Parmesan, and you’ll have a restaurant-quality side that feels decadent yet smart.

🫓 Ingredients

For the Flatbread:

• 1 cup self-rising flour

• 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt

• Pinch of salt

For the Garlic Butter:

• 1½ tbsp light butter or margarine

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

• Pinch of sea salt

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine self-rising flour, yogurt, and salt. Stir until a soft dough forms. Lightly flour your hands and knead for 2–3 minutes until smooth.

2. Divide and roll: Split dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each into a flat oval or circle, about ¼ inch thick.

3. Cook the flatbread: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and puffed.

4. Make the garlic butter: Melt the light butter in a small pan, add minced garlic, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in parsley and a pinch of sea salt.

5. Brush and serve: Brush warm flatbreads generously with garlic butter. Serve immediately, or keep warm wrapped in a towel until ready to serve.

Weight Watchers Estimate:

• 1 flatbread (¼ of recipe) ≈ 3–4 points, depending on the brand of yogurt and butter used.

• Make it 2 points by using fat-free yogurt and a reduced-fat butter spray.
