Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt or plain regular yogurt
- ¼ cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 3–4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley or dried parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Add the yogurt to the dry ingredients and stir until a soft dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Form the dough into a ball and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
- While the dough rests, prepare the garlic butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook gently until fragrant, being careful not to brown the garlic. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Divide the rested dough into 6 to 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into an oval or round shape, about ¼ inch thick.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat until hot.
- Place one rolled flatbread onto the dry skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown spots appear and the flatbread puffs up.
- Remove the cooked flatbread from the skillet and immediately brush generously with the prepared garlic butter.
- Sprinkle with fresh or dried parsley.
- Repeat with the remaining dough portions, stacking the cooked flatbreads and covering them with a towel to keep warm until ready to serve.
Notes
- For a crispier texture, cook the flatbreads slightly longer or brush them with garlic butter before cooking.
- Add herbs like oregano or thyme to the dough for extra flavor.
- These garlic butter flatbreads are best served fresh.
- Store leftover flatbreads in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Reheat flatbreads in a dry skillet over medium-low heat or wrapped in foil in a 300°F oven for about 10 minutes.
- These flatbreads pair well with hummus, curry, grilled meats, or can be used as a quick base for personal pizzas.
