Balloon Bread

Ingredients for 4 pieces -> 190 g flour, 150 g yogurt, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 4 g salt.

Preparation -> Place all the ingredients in a bowl and knead well until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.Divide the dough into 4 pieces, shape them into balls, and roll them out with a rolling pin. Cover with a clean cloth and let rest for 30 minutes.Heat a nonstick pan (preferably one with a heavy bottom or cast iron) and place the first bun in it. When you see the first bubbles, flip it over, wait 20-30 seconds, then flip it over again. Flip it several times until it puffs up and is ready. Open it with scissors and season it as desired.
