Ingredients

• 200 grams Whole wheat flour
• 120 grams Low-fat plain yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 60 ml Warm water
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 medium Grated carrot
• 0.5 medium Cucumber, sliced into thin strips
• 50 grams Shredded lettuce
• 100 grams Cooked chicken breast, shredded (optional for non-vegetarians)
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2

Add the olive oil, low-fat yogurt, and warm water to the dry ingredients. Mix until it forms a dough.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Step 4

While the dough rests, prepare the filling by mixing the grated carrot, cucumber slices, lettuce, and chopped parsley in a bowl. If using shredded chicken, mix it in as well.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Add this spice mixture to the prepared filling and toss well to coat.

Step 6

Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle, about 20 cm in diameter.

Step 7

Heat a non-stick skillet on medium heat. Cook each rolled-out dough for 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly golden and cooked through. Set aside on a clean towel to keep warm.

Step 8

To assemble, spread a small amount of low-fat yogurt onto each flatbread. Place a generous portion of the filling in the center and roll the flatbread tightly to form a roll.

Step 9

Serve immediately or wrap in parchment paper to enjoy later. These Turkish rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to one day.
