   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   13 3/4        ounces  bread flour -- 2 1/2 cups
   1 1/3         ounces  whole-wheat flour -- 1/4 cup
   2 1/4      teaspoons  rapid-rise yeast -- or instant
   1 1/2      teaspoons  salt
   1                cup  water -- room temperature
      1/4           cup  plain whole-milk yogurt
   2        tablespoons  extra-virgin olive oil
   2          teaspoons  sugar
   1 1/2    tablespoons  unsalted butter -- melted
                         coarse sea salt

Notes: Do not use low-fat yogurt, the bread will be tough. A 
cast-iron frying pan is preferred, but any 12-inch nonstick skillet will work.

Whisk bread flour, whole-wheat flour, yeast, and salt together in 
bowl of stand mixer. Whisk water, yogurt, 1 tablespoon oil, and sugar 
in 4-cup liquid measuring cup until sugar has dissolved. Using dough 
hook on low speed, slowly add water mixture to flour mixture and mix 
until cohesive dough starts to form and no dry flour remains, about 2 
minutes, scraping down bowl as needed. Increase speed to medium-low 
and knead until dough is smooth and elastic and clears sides of bowl 
but sticks to bottom, about 8 minutes.

Transfer dough to lightly floured counter and knead by hand to form 
smooth, round ball, about 30 seconds. Place dough seam side down in 
lightly greased large bowl or container, cover tightly with plastic 
wrap, and let rise until doubled in size, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 200F, unless 
bread is to be served immediately. Transfer dough to clean counter, 
divide into quarters, and cover loosely with greased plastic. Working 
with 1 piece of dough at a time (keep remaining pieces covered), form 
into rough ball by stretching dough around your thumbs and pinching 
edges together so that top is smooth. Place ball seam side down on 
clean counter, and using your cupped hand, drag in small circles 
until dough feels taut and round. Let balls rest, covered, for 10 minutes.

Grease 12-inch cast-iron skillet with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 
heat over medium heat for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, press and roll 1 
dough ball into 9-inch round of even thickness, sprinkling dough and 
counter with flour as needed to prevent sticking. Using fork, poke 
entire surface of round 20 to 25 times.

Using paper towels, carefully wipe out skillet, leaving thin film of 
oil on bottom and sides. Mist top of dough with water. Place dough 
moistened side down in skillet, then mist top of dough with water. 
Cover and cook until flatbread is lightly puffed and bottom is spotty 
brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Flip flatbread, cover, and continue to cook 
until spotty brown on second side, 2 to 4 minutes. (If large air 
pockets form, gently poke with fork to deflate.)

Brush 1 side of flatbread with about 1 teaspoon melted butter and 
sprinkle with sea salt. Serve immediately or transfer to ovensafe 
plate, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and keep warm in oven. 
Repeat with remaining dough balls, melted butter, and sea salt. Serve.
