Instructions
- Make the Dough:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the yogurt, olive oil, and warm water. Stir until the mixture comes together into a dough.
- Knead the dough for about 1-2 minutes until it’s smooth. If it feels sticky, add a little more flour; if it’s too dry, add a splash more water.
- Divide the Dough:
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions, rolling them into small balls.
- Roll Out the Flatbreads:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough ball into a thin circle, about 6-8 inches in diameter. You want it to be slightly thicker than a typical pizza crust for a soft yet chewy texture.
- Prepare the Garlic Butter:
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic with olive oil. If you want an extra kick, add a pinch of chili flakes or oregano.
- Cook the Flatbreads:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Place the flatbread onto the hot, dry pan and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots appear. You don’t need oil to cook the bread—just a dry pan will do!
- Garlic Brush & Serve:
- As soon as the flatbreads are cooked, brush them generously with the garlic olive oil mixture. This step ensures that every bite is full of garlic goodness and aroma.
- Optionally, sprinkle some fresh parsley on top for a fresh finish.
- Enjoy!
- Serve your freshly made garlic flatbreads hot, either as a side or on their own. Pair with a savory dip like hummus, tzatziki, or your favorite chutney.
