Garlic Flatbreads in 10 Minutes
Ingredients:
For Flatbreads:
- 350g Flour
- 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
- A little Salt
- 60ml Oil
- 120ml Water
For Brushing:
- Pressed Garlic (adjust quantity to taste)
- A little Oil
- Herbs to taste (such as parsley, cilantro, or rosemary)
Preparation:
Make the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Add the oil and water to the dry ingredients. Using your hands or a dough mixer, knead the mixture until it forms a smooth dough. If the dough feels too sticky, add a bit more flour; if too dry, add a splash more water.
Shape the Flatbreads:
Pinch off small pieces of the dough and roll them into balls. On a lightly floured surface, flatten each ball with a rolling pin to form your flatbreads. Aim for a thickness of about 1/8 to 1/4 inch, depending on your preference.
Cook the Flatbreads:
Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, place a flatbread in the pan.
Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and slightly puffed up. Repeat the process with the remaining flatbreads.
Garlic Oil Brushing:
In a small bowl, mix a little oil with pressed garlic and your chosen herbs. This will be your flavor-packed brushing mixture.
Once each flatbread is cooked, brush the garlic oil mixture over the top side while they are still warm. This will infuse them with a delicious garlicky herb flavor.
Serving Suggestions:
- Enjoy your Garlic Flatbreads warm, straight from the pan, or use them as:
- A base for quick personal pizzas.
- A side to dip in your favorite soups or stews.
- A wrap for sandwiches or gyros.
- Accompaniments to a variety of dips, such as hummus, tzatziki, or baba ganoush
