3-Minute Liquid Dough Garlic Flatbread RecipeThis super quick and easy recipe uses a liquid dough, which makes the process of making garlic flatbread much faster while still delivering a delicious, soft, and flavorful result.
Ingredients:
For the dough:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour for a healthier version)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup water (you may need a little more or less, depending on the flour type)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the garlic topping:
- 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for brushing)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
- A pinch of salt
Instructions:
Step 1: Make the Liquid Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Slowly add the water and olive oil, mixing with a spoon or your hands until the dough forms a loose, sticky consistency. The dough should be soft and slightly wet but not too runny.
- Stir it until there are no dry patches of flour. If it’s too dry, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the right consistency.
Step 2: Cook the Flatbreads
- Heat a non-stick skillet or a flat griddle over medium-high heat.
- Lightly flour your hands or a rolling pin and divide the dough into small balls (about 3-4 for medium-sized flatbreads).
- Roll each ball out into a thin disc, about 5-6 inches in diameter. You don’t need to be too precise – rustic shapes work best.
- Place the rolled dough into the hot skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, until the surface starts to bubble and the edges turn golden brown.
Step 3: Add Garlic Topping
- While the flatbread is cooking, heat the olive oil in a small pan over low heat and gently sauté the minced garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds to 1 minute). Be careful not to burn it!
- Once the flatbread is cooked, immediately brush each flatbread with the garlic-infused olive oil. Sprinkle some salt and chopped parsley on top for added flavor.
Step 4: Serve
- Serve the garlic flatbreads warm as a side with dips, soups, or as an accompaniment to any meal.
Tips:
- You can adjust the thickness of the flatbreads based on your preference – thinner for crispier texture or thicker for a chewier result.
- Experiment with adding other seasonings, such as dried oregano, rosemary, or chili flakes, for a flavor twist.
Enjoy your quick, garlicky, and delicious flatbread!
