Combine the flour, yogurt, egg, salt, baking powder, and black pepper in a mixing bowl and work for 5 minutes, until a soft dough forms; cover and rest for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into four pieces and roll each one out as thin as a yufka sheet.
Heat a nonstick pan over medium low heat and melt the butter.
Place the flatbreads in the pan and cook the first side for 3 minutes, until golden.
Turn them over and brown the other side for 3 more minutes.
Transfer to a plate, rest for 1 minute, and serve hot; set homemade cheese and sliced tomato alongside.
💡 Tip: Baking powder is essential in an unleavened pan bread; without it the bread stays doughy and does not rise. Do not overknead, because developed gluten makes the crumb tough.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Slice the hot flatbreads onto a plate; complete the Ankara breakfast table with homemade cheese, sliced tomatoes, olives, and strong tea.
