Here’s a quick and easy recipe for garlic flatbreads that you can whip up in just 10 minutes:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup plain yogurt (Greek yogurt works well)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
- Fresh herbs (optional, like parsley or cilantro)
- Salt (optional, for sprinkling on top)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the yogurt and mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it’s too dry, add a bit more yogurt.
- Knead and Divide:
- Lightly flour a surface and knead the dough for a minute or two until smooth.
- Divide the dough into 2-4 equal portions, depending on the size of the flatbreads you want.
- Roll Out the Dough:
- Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten and roll out into a round or oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cook the Flatbreads:
- Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. No oil is needed in the pan.
- Place one of the rolled-out doughs into the hot pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the bottom is golden brown.
- Flip the flatbread and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
- Garlic Butter Topping:
- While the flatbreads are cooking, melt the butter (or heat the olive oil) in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Add the minced garlic to the butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
- Finish and Serve:
- Brush the hot flatbreads with the garlic butter as soon as they come out of the pan.
- Sprinkle with fresh herbs and a pinch of salt if desired.
Tips:
- Variations: Add a sprinkle of cheese, chili flakes, or za’atar to the garlic butter for extra flavor.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve these flatbreads with dips, soups, or use them as a base for quick pizzas.
