Description

This easy and quick 3 Ingredient Greek Yogurt Pitas recipe creates soft, fluffy flatbreads perfect for wraps, dipping, or pairing with Mediterranean dishes. Made with simple pantry staples—flour, baking powder, and Greek yogurt—these pitas come together in just 30 minutes and can be cooked on the stovetop or air fried for a crispy finish.

Ingredients

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 3¾ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1½ cups 0% or 2% Greek yogurt (or sour cream)

Optional Dip

  • Lazy Tzatziki (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined to ensure an even rise and flavor distribution.
  2. Add yogurt and form dough: Stir the Greek yogurt into the flour mixture with a wooden spoon, then use your hands to knead it into two large dough balls, making sure all flour is incorporated and the dough is soft but not sticky.
  3. Divide and roll out dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and slice each dough ball into 4 equal parts, giving you 8 pieces total. Roll each piece out into a thin circle or oval shape, about 6-8 inches in diameter. For perfectly round pitas, use a round plate to outline and a pizza cutter to trim edges, then recombine scraps to make extra pitas.
  4. Cook pitas on stovetop: Lightly drizzle olive oil into a cast iron pan and heat over medium to medium-high heat. Place one rolled-out pita into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown patches appear and the pita is cooked through.
  5. Alternative air fryer method: Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Place pitas in the basket and cook for 12-14 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and slightly crisp.

Notes

  • Use Greek yogurt with 0% or 2% fat for the best texture; sour cream can be used as a substitute but may affect flavor.
  • Rolling the dough thin is important for puffing and cooking evenly.
  • Cooking in a cast iron pan adds a nice char and flavor, but an air fryer is a convenient alternative.
  • Store leftover pitas wrapped in foil or airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat in a skillet or toaster oven.
  • Serve with tzatziki, hummus, or use as a base for sandwiches and wraps.
