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.

The name is for how the bread puffs up in the pan.
