These garlic flatbreads are perfect as a side dish, a base for your favorite toppings, or just a tasty snack. With a few simple ingredients and minimal prep time, you can have fresh, warm flatbreads ready to enjoy in no time. Here’s how to make them:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or plain yogurt)
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus extra for brushing)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
Directions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the Greek yogurt, milk, and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture forms a soft dough. If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.
- Knead and Roll Out:
- On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about 1-2 minutes until smooth. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions.
- Roll each portion out into a flatread shape, about 1/4-inch thick. Aim for a round or oval shape, but don’t stress too much about perfection.
- Cook the Flatbreads:
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Brush the skillet with a little olive oil.
- Place one flatbread in the hot skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the flatbread and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side. The flatbread should have golden brown spots and be cooked through.
- Add Garlic and Herbs:
- While the flatbread is still warm, brush it with a little more olive oil. Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the top.
- If using, add the chopped parsley and dried oregano for extra flavor.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the garlic flatbreads warm. They are perfect as an accompaniment to soups, salads, or simply enjoyed on their own.
Tips for Success:
- Flour: Use all-purpose flour for the best texture. You can substitute with whole wheat flour if preferred, but the texture may be slightly denser.
- Yogurt: Greek yogurt adds moisture and helps make the flatbreads tender. If using plain yogurt, you might need to adjust the amount of flour to get the right dough consistency.
- Garlic: Fresh minced garlic adds a wonderful punch, but you can also use garlic powder if fresh isn’t available.
- Skillet: Make sure your skillet is hot before adding the flatbread to get the best sear and texture.
These fantastic garlic flatbreads are incredibly versatile and quick to make, making them a perfect addition to any meal or a great snack on their own. Enjoy the rich, savory flavor of garlic combined with the soft, chewy texture of freshly baked flatbread—all ready in just 10 minutes!
