Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt (or substitute with regular yogurt, sour cream, buttermilk, or milk with vinegar/lemon juice)
• 1/4 cup water (reduce if using buttermilk)
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
• 1 cup cooked bacon bits
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for drizzling)
• Fresh herbs (like chives or parsley) for garnish (optional)

Cooking Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.
2. Add the yogurt substitute and water to the flour mixture and stir until a dough begins to form. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes smooth.
3. Roll out the dough into a rectangle or circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
4. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. Place the rolled-out dough on the prepared baking sheet. Brush lightly with olive oil.
6. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the flatbread, followed by the cooked bacon bits.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cheese is bubbly.
8. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Cut into squares or slices and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
