Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3/4 cup warm water
Garlic Butter Topping
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking powder evenly.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in 1 tablespoon olive oil and 3/4 cup warm water to the dry ingredients, then stir until a dough begins to form.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it thoroughly for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Divide Dough: Separate the kneaded dough into small, evenly sized balls for rolling.
- Roll Flatbreads: Using a rolling pin, flatten each dough ball into thin, flat rounds.
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a skillet over medium heat, preparing it for cooking the flatbreads.
- Cook Flatbreads: Place each flatbread onto the hot skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked through and lightly browned.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter with minced garlic, mixing well to infuse the butter.
- Brush Flatbreads: Immediately brush the warm cooked flatbreads with the garlic butter mixture to coat them generously.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for color and flavor, and serve the flatbreads warm.
Notes
- Warm water helps activate the baking powder and makes the dough easier to knead.
- Use a non-stick skillet for best results to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- The flatbreads are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers wrapped in foil for up to a day.
- For a vegan alternative, substitute butter with vegan margarine or olive oil.
- Adjust garlic amount according to your preference for stronger or milder flavor.
