Description

Quick and flavorful garlic flatbreads that are ready in under 30 minutes, perfect for homemade bread lovers seeking a simple and delicious bread option.

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
3/4 cup (180ml) warm water (about 110°F / 43°C)
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

Activate the yeast: In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let sit until bubbly and frothy, about 5 minutes.
Make the dough: Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms, then knead in the bowl for about 5 minutes until smooth and slightly tacky.
Divide and rest: Split the dough into 6 equal pieces (about 2.5 oz / 70g each). Roll each into a ball, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rest for 10 minutes.
Prepare garlic butter: Melt the butter in a small bowl and stir in minced garlic and chopped parsley. Set aside.
Cook the flatbreads: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Roll out one dough ball into a 6-inch circle. Cook in skillet for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and bottom is golden, flip and cook 2 more minutes. Brush cooked side with garlic butter, flip again for 30 seconds. Repeat with remaining dough.

Notes

Use medium heat to avoid burning the flatbreads. Fresh garlic is essential for best flavor. Dough should be slightly tacky but not sticky. Rest dough covered to prevent drying. Cast iron skillet recommended for best crust. Can substitute instant yeast by mixing directly with flour and skipping proofing.
