Ingredients for Quick Garlic Flatbreads
For the Flatbreads:
350g Flour
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
A pinch of Salt
60ml Oil
120ml Water
For the Garlic Oil Brush:
A dash of Oil
Herbs of choice (parsley, cilantro, or rosemary recommended)
How to Make Your Garlic Flatbreads
Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the oil and water to the dry ingredients and work them into a smooth dough by hand or with a mixer. Adjust the consistency with a little more flour if too sticky, or a bit more water if too dry.
Shape Your Flatbreads: Pinch off small pieces of dough and roll them into balls. Flatten each ball with a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness, aiming for about 1/8 to 1/4 inch.
Cook the Flatbreads: Heat a nonstick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, place a flatbread in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and beginning to puff up. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Garlic Oil Brush: Mix crushed garlic with a little oil and your chosen herbs in a small bowl. Brush this flavorful mixture over the warm flatbreads to infuse them with a delightful garlicky herb taste.
