Preparation
- On a large baking tray or work surface, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Make a well in the middle, add the yogurt, and slowly combine with your hands to form a dough.
- Knead on a floured surface, adding extra flour if too sticky, until it reaches a pizza-dough texture, still very slightly sticky — this takes only a few minutes.
- Oil a baking tray, place the dough on top, and shape into a circle about 5cm high.
- Brush the dough all over with a little olive oil to cover it fully.
- Bake as it is, or first create patterns with the back of a fork (pressing line dents all over, or spiking the dough) to help it cook evenly.
- Bake on the bottom shelf of a preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until golden and firm to the touch.
- Stand upright or place on a cooling rack to cool.
- Cut into 8 slices like a cake, or pull apart with your hands if serving warm.
