How to Make Garlic Flatbreads
Step 1: Make the Dough
In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Add yogurt, olive oil, and water. Stir until it forms a dough, then knead 2–3 minutes until smooth. Let it rest 10–15 minutes while you prep the garlic butter.
Step 2: Make Garlic Butter
Melt butter in a small pan. Add minced garlic and a pinch of salt, letting it sizzle gently for 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in parsley (if using).
Step 3: Roll & Cook
Divide dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll into circles or ovals, about 6–7 inches wide. Cook on a hot skillet 1–2 minutes per side until golden and bubbly.
Step 4: Brush & Serve
As they come off the heat, brush each one with the warm garlic butter. Serve immediately while soft and warm!
