🫓 Garlic Flatbread (No Yeast Option)
🧄 Ingredients:
For the dough (No yeast version):
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
¾ cup plain yogurt (Greek or regular)
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
½ tsp salt
-
1–2 tbsp olive oil (optional, for softer dough)
For the garlic butter:
-
3 tbsp unsalted butter
-
3–4 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 tbsp fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (optional)
-
Pinch of salt
👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Make the Dough
-
In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
Add yogurt and mix until it forms a shaggy dough.
-
Knead for 2–3 minutes until smooth and elastic. If it’s too dry, add a splash of water or a drizzle of olive oil.
2. Rest the Dough
-
Cover and let it rest for 15–20 minutes at room temperature. (Helps with rolling and tenderness.)
3. Prepare Garlic Butter
-
While dough rests, melt butter in a small pan.
-
Add minced garlic and sauté on low heat for 1–2 minutes (don’t brown it).
-
Stir in parsley and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
4. Roll & Cook the Flatbreads
-
Divide dough into 6–8 balls. Roll each into a flat oval or circle (~⅛ inch thick).
-
Heat a nonstick skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat.
-
Cook each flatbread for 1–2 minutes per side, until golden spots appear and it puffs slightly.
5. Brush & Serve
-
Immediately brush hot flatbreads with garlic butter after cooking.
-
Serve warm — great for dipping in creamy sauces or sopping up juices.
🔄 Variations:
-
Add cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella or parmesan on the dough before folding and rolling out again.
-
Make it vegan: Use plant-based yogurt and vegan butter.
