Garlic and Butter Flatbread Recipe

Garlic and butter flatbread is a delightful and savory treat that can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or even a light meal. Here’s a simple recipe to make garlic and butter flatbread at home:

Ingredients:

For the Flatbread:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3/4 cup warm water

For the Garlic Butter:

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Make the Flatbread Dough:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder.
   • Add the plain yogurt and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix well.
   • Gradually add the warm water while kneading the dough until it comes together and forms a smooth, slightly sticky ball. You may not need all the water or may need a bit more, so adjust accordingly.
   • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
2. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If you have a pizza stone or baking stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
3. Roll Out the Flatbread:
   • Divide the dough into smaller portions, depending on how many flatbreads you want to make. Usually, you can make 4-6 flatbreads from this amount.
   • Roll out each portion of dough into a thin, round or oval shape. You can use a rolling pin or simply use your hands to stretch the dough.
4. Prepare the Garlic Butter:
   • In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped fresh parsley (if using). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
5. Bake the Flatbread:
   • If you’re using a pizza stone or baking stone, carefully transfer the rolled-out flatbread onto the hot stone. Alternatively, you can place the flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
   • Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the flatbreads.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the flatbreads are golden brown and slightly crispy around the edges.
7. Serve:
   • Once the flatbreads are out of the oven, you can brush them with more garlic butter if desired.
   • Slice the flatbreads into wedges or squares and serve them warm.

Enjoy your homemade garlic and butter flatbread as an appetizer, alongside a meal, or as a snack. It’s a savory and flavorful treat that’s sure to be a hit!
