Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Chickpea flour
• 2 tablespoons Vital wheat gluten
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
• 0.25 cups Warm water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Za'atar seasoning
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for brushing)
• 1 teaspoon Extra za'atar for topping

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, chickpea flour, vital wheat gluten, baking powder, and salt. Stir together until evenly mixed.

Step 2

Add the Greek yogurt, warm water, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 3

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a light sprinkle of flour as needed.

Step 4

Form the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a clean towel and let rest for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then use a rolling pin to flatten each ball into a thin circle, about 8-10 inches in diameter.

Step 6

Preheat a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat. Brush one side of the dough with olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of za'atar on top.

Step 7

Place the dough in the hot skillet, oiled side down. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles form and the bottom is golden brown.

Step 8

Brush the top with a little more olive oil and sprinkle a small amount of za'atar, then flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining portions of dough.

Step 10

Serve the freshly cooked laffa warm as a wrap, with your favorite Middle Eastern dips, or alongside grilled dishes.
