Tips & Variations

  • Use canned pumpkin puree for convenience or make your own by roasting and pureeing fresh pumpkin.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or ground cumin to the dough.
  • Serve with dips like hummus, tzatziki, or a garlic yogurt sauce for a tasty appetizer.

Storage

Store leftover flatbreads in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze flatbreads separated by parchment paper in a freezer bag for up to 1 month. Reheat in a hot pan or oven until warmed through, then brush again with the butter parsley mixture if desired.

FAQs

Can I use another type of flour?

All-purpose flour works best for this recipe, but you can substitute whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor. Note that the texture may be denser.

How do I make pumpkin puree at home?

Cut a pumpkin in half, remove seeds, and roast it cut-side down at 400°F (200°C) for about 45 minutes until tender. Scoop out the flesh and blend until smooth to make fresh pumpkin puree.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 2 ½ cups (320g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ tsp (10g) baking powder
  • 1 tsp (5g) salt
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • 3/4 cup (180g) Greek yogurt
  • 3/4 cup (180g) pumpkin puree

Butter Parsley Mixture

  • 3 tbsp (45g) unsalted butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) salt

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and a pinch of nutmeg to evenly distribute the leavening and spices.
  2. Add wet ingredients and knead dough: Add the Greek yogurt and pumpkin puree to the dry ingredients. Mix until combined, then knead gently for a few minutes until you achieve a smooth, elastic dough. (For making pumpkin puree, use cooked, peeled pumpkin flesh blended until smooth.)
  3. Divide and shape dough: Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a round ball.
  4. Preheat pan: Heat a heavy-bottomed pan or skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. No oil or butter is needed for cooking the flatbreads.
  5. Roll out dough: On a floured surface, roll each dough ball into a thin circle about ¼ inch (6mm) thick.
  6. Cook one side: Place a rolled-out dough circle in the hot pan and cook for about 1 minute until bubbles form on the surface and the bottom develops brown spots.
  7. Flip and cook other side: Flip the flatbread and cook until the other side is golden brown with uneven spots, about another minute.
  8. Repeat cooking: Repeat the rolling and cooking process with the remaining dough pieces.
  9. Prepare butter parsley mixture: In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, and salt. Cook gently for about 1 minute to infuse the flavors, then remove from heat.
  10. Brush flatbreads: Brush the cooked flatbreads generously with the garlic parsley butter mixture to add richness and flavor.
  11. Serve: Serve these pumpkin flatbreads warm as a side, appetizer, or snack with your favorite dishes.

Notes

  • To make fresh pumpkin puree, peel and cube a small pumpkin or sugar pumpkin, steam or boil the cubes until very tender, then blend or mash until smooth.
  • You can substitute Greek yogurt with regular yogurt or sour cream, but Greek yogurt provides better texture and tang.
  • If you prefer, you can add other herbs like thyme or rosemary in the butter mixture for variation.
  • These flatbreads can be reheated in a pan or microwave but are best eaten fresh.
