Homemade Flatbread
Soft, fluffy flatbreads brushed with garlicky olive oil, perfect for pairing with soups, curries, or grilled chicken.
Ingredients
For the Flatbreads
- 2 cups 2 cups (240 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp 2 tsp (8 g) baking powder
- ½ tsp ½ tsp (2.85 g) sea salt
- 2 tbsp 2 tbsp (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil
- ⅔ cup ⅔ cup (168 ml) water
For the Garlic Sauce
- 2 tbsp 2 tbsp (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp 1 tbsp (3.8 g) freshly chopped parsley
- 4 cloves 4 cloves garlic, grated or finely minced
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add in olive oil and water, mixing with a spoon first, then knead by hand until a smooth, compact dough forms. Shape into a ball.
- Sprinkle flour on your work surface. Cut the dough in half, then cut each half into 4 equal pieces (8 pieces total). Roll each piece into a ball and flatten into 1/8-inch thick flatbreads.
Cooking
- Heat a large grill or non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Brush one side of each flatbread with olive oil and place oil-side down in the hot pan. Brush the top side with more oil. Cook for 1–1.5 minutes per side until golden.
- While the first flatbread cooks, mix olive oil, parsley, and garlic in a small bowl.
- Flip the flatbreads, cook for another 75 seconds, then brush generously with the garlic sauce.
- Repeat for all pieces and stack them on a plate, covering with a clean towel to keep warm.
