Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked butter beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 2 cups plain flour
- 3/4 cup plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat a griddle or heavy skillet over medium heat.
- In a food processor, blend butter beans, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, cumin, and salt until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Lightly flour a clean surface for rolling the dough.
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour and baking powder, then stir in yogurt until a soft dough forms. Knead briefly, divide into 6 portions, and roll each into a thin round.
- Place each flatbread on the hot griddle and cook for about 2 minutes per side until golden with light char marks. Keep warm while cooking the rest.
- Spoon the hummus into a shallow bowl, swirl the top, and drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Serve warm flatbreads alongside the hummus and enjoy.
Notes
- Blend the hummus longer for an ultra smooth texture.
- If the hummus feels too thick, add 1 tablespoon warm water to loosen it.
- Keep cooked flatbreads wrapped in a clean towel to stay soft.
- Store leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
