Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 0.75 cups warm water
• 0.5 cups plain low-fat yogurt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons Za'atar seasoning
• 0 as needed oil spray

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

Add the plain low-fat yogurt and olive oil to the yeast mixture, stirring until well combined.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add this mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring continuously until a dough starts to form.

Step 4

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough back into the mixing bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for approximately 45 minutes or until it has doubled in size.

Step 6

Once risen, punch down the dough to release any air bubbles. Divide the dough into 6 equal-sized portions and shape each into a ball.

Step 7

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly spray with oil.

Step 8

Roll out each dough ball on a floured surface into a flat, round shape about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 9

Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of Za'atar seasoning on each flatbread, gently pressing it into the surface with your fingers.

Step 10

Place the flattened dough onto the preheated skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Repeat the process with the remaining dough portions.

Step 12

Serve warm. These flatbreads make a great accompaniment to dips or can be used as a base for various toppings.
