Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Liquid Dough
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to mix evenly.
- Gradually add the water (or milk) and olive oil, whisking continuously, until you achieve a smooth, pancake-batter-like consistency.
- Let the batter rest for 2–3 minutes while you prepare the garlic butter.
Step 2: Make the Garlic Butter
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley (if using), and salt. Set aside.
- For a more intense garlic flavor, gently heat the butter mixture in a small pan over low heat until fragrant.
Step 3: Cook the Flatbread
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of oil or butter.
- Pour ¼ cup of the liquid dough onto the skillet, spreading it slightly with the back of a spoon to form a round shape.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the flatbread and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Step 4: Add the Garlic Butter
- Brush the warm flatbreads generously with the garlic butter as soon as they come off the skillet.
- For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt or grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Serving Suggestions
- Dip it: Pair with hummus, tzatziki, or marinara sauce for a tasty snack.
- As a Side: Serve alongside soups, curries, or grilled meats.
- Quick Pizza: Top with tomato sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings, then heat in the skillet until the cheese melts.
Tips for Success
- Consistency: The batter should be pourable but thick enough to hold its shape in the skillet. Adjust with a tablespoon of water or flour if needed.
- Flavor Boost: Mix chopped herbs, grated cheese, or spices (like chili flakes or cumin) into the batter for variety.
- Crispier Texture: For a slightly crispier flatbread, increase the heat slightly and cook a minute longer on each side.
Storage and Reheating
- Storage: Store cooked flatbreads in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Reheating: Warm in a skillet or microwave for a few seconds to restore softness.
- Freezing: Freeze the cooked flatbreads with parchment paper between each piece. Reheat directly from frozen on a skillet.
