Here’s a simple recipe for garlic flatbreads that you can make at home:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Butter or extra olive oil for brushing
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Add the warm water and olive oil, and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Garlic Butter:
- While the dough is resting, heat a small pan over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and a tablespoon of olive oil. Cook until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden, about 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- Shape and Cook the Flatbreads:
- Divide the dough into 4-6 equal portions, depending on the size of flatbreads you want.
- Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten into a round shape using a rolling pin, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Cook each flatbread for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown spots appear. You may need to press down slightly with a spatula for even cooking.
- Finish with Garlic Butter:
- Brush each flatbread with the garlic butter immediately after cooking. You can also sprinkle with chopped parsley for extra flavor.
- Serve:
- Serve the garlic flatbreads warm. They’re perfect on their own, or as a side for soups, salads, or dips.
