Knead the flour, water, and salt into a firm dough that does not stick to the hand.
Shape the dough into a round loaf, press the top lightly, and rest it for 10 minutes.
Bake the dough at 190°C for 40 minutes until the inside is cooked and the outside is browned.
Mix the strained yogurt with crushed garlic and 3 tablespoons of water into a pourable sauce.
Open the center of the baked dough and tear the inside into large bites.
Pour the garlic yogurt into the hot dough and work it between the pieces.
Foam the butter with red pepper flakes for 2 minutes, drizzle over the babuko, and serve immediately.
💡 Tip: Break the baked dough apart while it is still hot; once it cools, the yogurt and butter do not soak into the inside well enough.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve babuko in the center of a large shallow dish for a family table, with optional pickles and strong tea.
