Step 1

Whisk yogurt, water, 3 Tbsp oil in a sm bowl until smooth. In processor, pulse flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda until combined, about 2 pulses. With processor running, add yogurt mixture and process until smooth ball forms, about 30 sec. With lightly oiled hands, transfer dough to lightly oiled counter. Knead until dough is smooth and springy, about 5 min. Form dough into a ball and transfer to a lightly greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or lightly damp towel and let rest 1-3 hrs.

Step 2

Add 2 qts oil to lg Dutch oven until 1½ in deep and heat over med-high to 390. Set wire rack in sheet pan and line with double layer of paper towels. Divide dough into 8 equal portions and roll into tight balls. Place balls seam-side down on counter, coat lightly with extra oil, and cover with plastic. Press 1 dough ball into 3" round. Using rolling pin, gently roll dough into 6" round, adding extra oil as necessary to prevent sticking. Cover with plastic wrap or damp towel and repeat with remaining dough balls.

Step 3

Carefully place one round into hot oil. Pressing gently with back of a spider skimmer, keep dough submerged until it begins to puff. Gently press unpuffed sides into oil until evenly inflated, about 20 sec. Continue to cook until bottom is light golden brown, about 10 sec longer. Gently flip and press to ensure even browning on second side, about 20 sec. Lift bread from oil, allowing to drain briefly, and transfer to rack. Repeat with remaining rounds, maintaining temp between 380-400.
