Key Ingredients:
Flour: The base of the flatbread, creating a structure and elasticity. AP flour gives a soft, fluffy result.
Yogurt: Helps to maintain moisture and provides tang, which contributes to a tender crumb. Plain, unsweetened yogurt is ideal for this.
Baking Powder: A leavening agent that helps the flatbreads puff up a little and stay soft.
Salt: It adds flavor to the bread and helps cut the tanginess of the yogurt and richness of the oils.
Vegetable oil: Maintains the dough elasticity and provides a hint of decadence to the bread.
Avocado Oil: Brushed on the skillet and the dough, this oil prevents sticking and leaves a golden, crisp exterior.
