1 cup unbleached white flour or all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking soda
1/3 tsp salt
1/3 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs of choice

2 tsp oil
3 tbsp yogurt or 3 tbsp olive oil
2.5 tbsp milk (can substitute for non dairy option)

Preparation:
In a bowl, whisk all the dry ingredients until well combined. Mix in the herbs.
In a small bowl mix the milk and lemon juice. Add to the dry. Add yogourt, oil and sugar to the dry. Mix well and knead for a minute. The dough will seem dry then start to get sticky as you keep kneading. Add a tsp or more flour if too sticky or a tsp milk if too dry. You want the dough to be somewhat sticky. Cover the bowl and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Spray oil on the dough and knead for a few seconds to smooth out.
Divide dough into 3 parts. Roll each into a smooth ball. Flatten one, dust in flour and roll out into an oval or circle shape.
Heat a skillet over medium high heat. When the skillet is evenly hot. Place the rolled flatbread on it. Place a lid on the flatbread and cook for 2 minutes.
Flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Place directly on the flame or grill to blacken or continue to cook on the skillet until golden brown spots.
Place on a serving plate and immediately brush with butter if you choose. Sprinkle some herbs.
Repeat for all flatbreads. Store covered lightly in a kitchen towel over the counter for the day or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
