Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus more for brushing)
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (for the dough)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for extra flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted (for brushing)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for extra garlic flavor)

Instructions:

Step 1: Make the Dough

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add the olive oil, minced garlic, and warm water. Stir until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour; if it’s too dry, add a bit more water.
  3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rest for a few minutes.

Step 2: Roll Out the Flatbreads

  1. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
  2. Roll each portion into a ball, then roll each ball out on a floured surface into a thin circle or oval, about 6 inches in diameter.

Step 3: Cook the Flatbreads

  1. Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a tiny bit of oil or butter.
  2. Place one flatbread into the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots form and the bread puffs up slightly. Repeat with the remaining flatbreads.

Step 4: Add Garlic Butter

  1. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the garlic powder (if using).
  2. Once the flatbreads are cooked, brush each one with the garlic butter mixture and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor.

Step 5: Serve

Enjoy your warm, garlicky flatbreads with your favorite dips, or as a side to any meal./

Tips:

  • Make it ahead: You can prep the dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to a day. Just allow it to come to room temperature before rolling out.
  • Customize: Add your favorite herbs or spices to the dough for a unique twist. Oregano or thyme work wonderfully for a Mediterranean flair.
  • Make it cheesy: Sprinkle some cheese on top of the flatbread right before the last minute of cooking for a cheesy garlic bread version.

These garlic flatbreads are incredibly versatile and can be used in many ways. Enjoy! 😊
