Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter for brushing

Instructions
 

  • Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, and salt. Whisk until evenly distributed.
  • Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the warm water and olive oil. Pour this mixture into the flour blend.
  • Knead the Dough: Stir the mixture until it forms a shaggy dough. Transfer it to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth.
  • Let It Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a dish towel. Allow it to rise in a warm spot for about 15-20 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
  • Shape the Flatbread: Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten it into a round shape about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Add Flavor: Mix the minced garlic with melted butter and brush it generously over the flatbread. Sprinkle with chopped parsley for an extra burst of flavor!
  • Cook the Flatbread: Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each piece of flatbread for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and puffed.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Slice and serve warm! Enjoy with your favorite dips, or as a side dish with your main meal.
