3 Ingredient Pitas (Flatbread Recipe)
These low calorie, high protein pitas are the answer to your quick flatbread needs.
Super soft and simple to make – no yeast required. Music to my ears. I love making these pitas in a pinch when I don’t want to wait around for dough to rise. There are only three common ingredients in this recipe that I always have them on hand.
Feel free to use gluten free flour in this recipe. Also, MAKE SURE YOU ROLL OUT THE ROUNDS AS THIN AS POSSIBLE; it is integral to get them cooked to perfection. I also tried air frying these and they worked out amazing!

3 Ingredient Greek Yogurt Pitas (Flatbread)
Ingredients
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 3¾ tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1½ cups 0% or 2% Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
- Optional Dip: Lazy Tzatziki
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in the yogurt with a wooden spoon and then use your hands to form TWO large dough balls.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and slice each ball into 4 equal parts. IMPORTANT: Roll out each piece into a THIN circle or oval shape. You can use a round plate to outline the circle and then use a pizza cutter to cut away the edges. (This is only if you want a perfect circle shaped pita. Take the extra pieces you cut away and combine them together and form more pitas).
- Lightly drizzle a cast iron pan with olive oil and heat on medium to medium high. Transfer one pita to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown patches appear. Repeat with remaining dough. YOU CAN ALSO AIR FRY THESE PITAS: 400°F for 12-14 minutes – flipping halfway through.
Notes
You can use this same recipe to make pizza crust, bagels, etc.
You can use gluten free all purpose flour too. I haven’t tried almond flour but it might work with the addition of some eggs.

Can I marry this beautiful woman please 😌🙏
Thank you for this recipe. So delicious and easy to make! I used full fat Greek yogurt and it turned out amazing. Ate them with lamb meatballs and your lazy tzatziki, lettuce tomato and red onion. So freakin delicious.
Made this for my friends and I, they loved it so much. I was worried it would be hard since I’ve never really made dough before but it was so easy, which is great for us as uni students! Will be using this recipe for so many things now
hey 👋 is there anywhere the recipe for the dip?
These were amazing!!! Served them with your zucchini feta dip (delicious too), gone in no time. Thank you for the wonderful and super easy recipe!
Hi Zora, sounds amazing with the zucchini dip! Well done here!
Delicious pitas especially with your tzatziki sauce! They’re easy to make also. Thanks Stella!
Hi Lana, I’m so glad you tried them and enjoyed the recipe! Perfect with Tzatziki yesss!
so good
made with gluten free flour
needed a little more yoghurt
tasted similar to my usual wheat flour ones just less fuss…. thank you!!!
Yessss! Glad you liked them and thanks for sharing your feedback!
very good and easy to make. the yogurt taste comes through in the pita, it turned out quite different than the store bought pitas but I liked them. will definitely make again.
I love it! It’s also perfect beside a creamy soup 🍜😍💪🏽
Fabulous thank you
We are now eating these daily 😆
This is not a pita. And I can’t imagine it as a bagel. Being the same shape doesn’t make two types of bread suddenly the same. But it is a good flatbread that’s quick & easy to make.
Um… There are *4* ingredients in your recipe.
Can you use the 5% fage greek yogurt?
yes!
Hi can I put the dough in the fridge until the next morning?
Just started following you a few days ago and already I’ve made two of your recipes! Just made the 3 ingredient pita bread and it was easy and they were absolutely delicious!!! Grateful that I found your page!! 🙏🏾🙌🏾
I’ll never buy pita again. Thank you!
