ToggleGarlic and Butter Flatbread
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for cooking)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh parsley or herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Make the Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add warm water and olive oil, mixing until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
- Knead:
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
- Prepare Garlic Butter:
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the minced garlic. Set aside.
- Roll Out the Dough:
- Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a flat circle or oval, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cook the Flatbreads:
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and lightly grease with olive oil.
- Cook each flatbread for about 2-3 minutes on one side until golden, then flip and brush the cooked side with garlic butter. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the other side is golden.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Remove from the skillet and brush with any remaining garlic butter. Garnish with chopped parsley or herbs if desired.
Tips:
- Variations: Add cheese, herbs, or spices to the dough for extra flavor.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
