Ingredients:
- Dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Garlic Butter:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, sugar, and garlic powder.
- Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest for about 30 minutes.
- Divide and Roll Out the Dough:
- After the dough has rested, divide it into 8 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it with a rolling pin or your hands into a round or oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cook the Flatbreads:
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- Cook each flatbread for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots appear and the bread puffs up slightly.
- Remove from the skillet and place on a plate. Cover with a clean towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining flatbreads.
- Prepare the Garlic Butter:
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and minced garlic.
- Brush the warm flatbreads with the garlic butter, then sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve:
- Serve the garlic flatbreads warm, with your favorite dips, spreads, or as an accompaniment to main dishes.
