This Three Ingredient Homemade Flatbread is high protein, low carb, and can easily be made gluten free. This recipe makes four flatbreads, takes less than twenty minutes to make, and uses only three ingredients you probably always have stocked in your kitchen. It doesn’t get any easier! Prep these for the week ahead or enjoy as a side to any meal.
One of the easiest hacks to creating higher protein, healthier breads is adding Greek yogurt. Most of the time you just need flour, yogurt, and a couple of other ingredients to make something delicious and that leaves you wondering why you didn’t make it sooner. Well, this flatbread recipe is one of those moments for me! I saw a couple of similar recipes online and each looked too good to be true so I had to try for myself (and of course make a couple tweaks as I went). I love getting fresh, warm flatbread at restaurants and when I’ve gotten some from the store to have at home, it either doesn’t taste great or I have a really hard time finding one with simple ingredients. So when I found out I could make my own flatbreads at home with only three ingredients, I was sold!
This flatbread is so soft, chewy, airy, and pulls apart so easily for the perfect bite. The outside is firm and cooked a little crisp to add just the right amount of flavor. You’d really never guess that it’s only made with flour, Greek yogurt, and baking powder! The Greek yogurt is key in this recipe because it provides healthy fats, protein, and acts as both a binder and rising agent which replaces an egg in a typical recipe but results in the same fluffy, light texture. With the protein and healthy fats from the Greek yogurt and the carbs from the flour, this is a balanced edition to any snack or meal. It will keep you full a lot longer too! If you’re wanting this to be gluten free, you can use a 1:1 Gluten Free All Purpose Flour instead and get the same results.
These are amazing to meal prep and have on hand to enjoy however you like during the week. You can also increase the recipe and freeze the extra so you have a stash to grab whenever you need! I’ve been storing my leftovers in the fridge and using them in so many different ways throughout the week. I love spreading a little butter or even honey butter on top and having it as a side with hearty dinners like my High Protein Curry Soup. Tearing off a piece, dipping it in, and eating it is just so satisfying and delicious! I’ve also used this as a wrap for quick lunches when I want a little something more than my usual healthier Avocado Bread or Cottage Cheese Wrap. I shared some more ideas for how to enjoy these below!

- So easy – It takes less than twenty minutes, start to finish, to make this recipe.
- Secret protein hack – Thanks to the Greek yogurt in this recipe, these flatbreads are higher protein than your classic store-bought or restaurant option. No matter how you eat them, the amount of protein you’re having is instantly boosted.
- Dietary friendly – These are high protein, low carb, and can be gluten free and dairy free with some ingredient swaps listed below.
What You’ll Need
- Plain Greek yogurt – This is what sneaks in extra protein and helps create the amazing, soft, chewy texture. I haven’t tried it with any other yogurt but you could see if a thick dairy free yogurt would work!
- Organic flour – I used Bobs Red Mill Organic All-Purpose Flour and you can try a 1:1 gluten free flour replacement if you want a gluten free option.
- Baking powder
- Sea salt – Optional but adds a little more flavor. You. can always add more spices too!
Flatbread Ideas
- Top with butter or honey butter and enjoy with soups, curry, or a side to another dish
- Use as a wrap – I love a classic turkey wrap with turkey slices, tomato, lettuce, mustard
- Have as a snack with hummus and veggies
- Make into mini pizzas – They’re perfect for easy, personal size pizzas!
How To Make
- In a large bowl, mix all of the ingredients together until a dough forms. Then roll the dough into a ball.
- Lightly flour the countertop surface and place the dough ball on top.
- Cut the ball into four even pieces and roll each section into four separate balls.
- Roll each dough ball out thinly, to resemble a flatbread shape.
- Heat a large pan on the stovetop over medium heat and lightly grease with oil. Then add each flatbread one at a time and cook until bubbles form and it’s lightly golden brown.
- Flip and cook for a few more minutes until both sides are even. Repeat this for each flatbread.
- Enjoy as a side, plain, with butter, as a wrap, or as mini pizzas. Enjoy!

- Glass mixing bowls
- Rolling pin
- Silicone turner
- Glass food container – Store in the fridge for three to five days or in the freezer for longer. Just reheat over the stovetop or in the microwave when you’re ready to eat!
