Ingredients
instant dry yeast
2 (7 g packages)
white flour
1.5 cups (or substitute with integral flour)
water
3/4 cup (lukewarm)
plain yogurt
2 tablespoons (full-fat or low-fat)

margarine
2 tablespoons (softened)
sugar
2 teaspoons (granulated)
salt
1 teaspoon (fine)

Instructions
1
In a small bowl, mix the lukewarm water, sugar, and yeast. Cover the mixture with a clean towel and let it sit in a warm place for about 10 minutes until frothy and active.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yogurt, pumpkin seeds, margarine, salt, and rosemary. Pour the activated yeast mixture into the dry ingredients.
3
Stir until the mixture forms a sticky dough. If the dough is too watery, gradually add more flour until the desired consistency is achieved.
4
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place the dough in a well-oiled bowl, rotating to coat all sides. Cover with a towel and allow it to rise in a warm, draft-free place for about an hour, or until it doubles in size.
5
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
6
Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
7
Shape the dough into a large flat circle and place it on a lightly greased baking sheet.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the top is firm to the touch.
9
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing into pieces. Serve warm and enjoy!
