Garlic Flatbreads Recipe

Ingredients:

• For the flatbread dough:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
• For the garlic topping:
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder.
   2. Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
   3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
   4. Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Garlic Topping:
   1. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
   2. (Optional) Add the chopped parsley to the mixture for added flavor and color.
3. Form and Cook the Flatbreads:
   1. After the dough has rested, divide it into 4-6 equal portions, depending on the size of flatbreads you prefer.
   2. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it with a rolling pin into a circle or oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
   3. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. You can lightly grease it with a bit of oil if desired.
   4. Place one flatbread in the hot skillet and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, until bubbles form on the surface and the flatbread is golden brown.
   5. Remove from the skillet and immediately brush with the garlic butter mixture. Repeat with the remaining dough.
4. Serve:
   • Serve the garlic flatbreads warm. They are perfect on their own or as a side to your favorite dishes like curries, soups, or salads.
