Ingredients

• For the flatbread:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
• For the garlic butter:
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

1. Make the flatbread dough:
   • In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
   • Gradually add the warm water and olive oil, stirring until a dough forms.
   • Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

   • Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant (do not let it brown).
   • Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley, if using. Add salt to taste.
3. Cook the flatbread:
   • Divide the dough into 4-6 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
   • On a floured surface, roll out each ball into a thin, round flatbread.
   • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
   • Cook each flatbread for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden brown spots appear and the bread puffs up slightly.
   • Remove from heat and brush immediately with the garlic butter.
4. Serve:
   • Serve the garlic and butter flatbread warm. It’s perfect as a side dish or a base for various toppings.
