Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup warm water (110°F)
  • 1 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast: In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Make the Dough: Combine flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Pour in the yeasty mixture and stir until combined, then knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
  3. Let It Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl covered with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm spot for about one hour or until doubled in size.
  4. Prepare Garlic Butter: Melt butter and minced garlic in a small saucepan over low heat until fragrant (1-2 minutes).
  5. Shape & Cook Flatbreads: Preheat skillet over medium heat. Divide risen dough into equal portions and roll out into thin circles (about 1/4 inch thick). Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown, brushing with garlic butter while cooking.
