Dissolve the yeast in the water and stir in the yoghurt.
Mix the plain flour and salt, and stir it in with a spoon until the dough starts to come together.
Tip the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead it briefly by hand until it holds together. Dust with a little extra flour if the dough is sticky, and shape it into a ball.
Place the dough in a bowl, cover with cling film and a tea towel, and leave to rise in a warm place for about an hour.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Shape them into balls, then roll them out in a little flour into oval breads about 2-3 mm thick.
Heat a frying pan well over a high heat with a splash of oil, and cook the breads until cooked through and golden on both sides.
Set them aside as you go, covered with a tea towel, so the steam stops them drying out.
Brush them with melted butter, garlic butter or oil before serving, if you like.
