Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 3/4 cup water
– 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Additional salt, to taste
PREPARATION:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- Gradually add in the water, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for a minute or so until it’s smooth. Let the dough rest for about 15 minutes.
- Divide the dough into four equal portions and roll each piece into a thin round (about 1/8 inch thick).
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for about 1-2 minutes on one side, or until you see bubbles forming, then flip and cook the other side for an additional minute. Stack the cooked flatbreads and wrap them in a clean towel to keep them warm.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Brush this garlic butter generously over each flatbread.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley and a pinch of salt to taste before serving.
Variations & Tips:
– Feeling adventurous? Add some grated Parmesan or Asiago cheese to the top of the flatbreads right after brushing them with garlic butter for a cheesy twist.
– Whole wheat flour can be substituted for all-purpose for a nuttier, heartier flavor.
– If you’re short on time, store-bought pizza dough can stand in for homemade dough in a pinch. Just roll it out thin and follow the cooking directions as usual.
– For a touch of heat, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter can make a spicy version that’s sure to be a hit.
– Finally, these are best served immediately, but if you need to reheat, wrap them in foil and pop them in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes, or until heated through. Enjoy every last bite, folks!
