Description

These garlic flatbreads are tender on the inside with golden, lightly crisped spots on the outside. Fresh garlic and herbs add bold flavor, while a quick dough keeps things fast and foolproof. Ideal for busy days when you want fresh bread now.

Ingredients

For the Flatbread Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 tsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ¾ cup plain yogurt (or milk)

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

For Garlic Topping

  • 3 tbsp melted butter

  • 2–3 cloves garlic, finely minced

  • 1–2 tbsp fresh parsley or cilantro, finely chopped

  • Optional: pinch of chili flakes or garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Make the Dough
    In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Add yogurt and olive oil. Mix until a soft dough forms.

  2. Knead & Rest
    Knead lightly for 1–2 minutes until smooth. Cover and rest for 5 minutes.

  3. Divide & Roll
    Divide dough into 6–8 equal balls. Roll each into a ¼-inch thick round.

  4. Cook the Flatbreads
    Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each flatbread 1–2 minutes per side until puffed and golden.

  5. Add Garlic Butter
    Mix melted butter, garlic, and herbs. Brush generously over hot flatbreads.
