Ingredients
For the Dough
350 g flour
1 tbsp baking powder
Salt to taste
60 ml oil
120 ml water
For Garlic Herb Brush
2–3 cloves garlic, pressed
2 tbsp oil
Fresh herbs (rosemary, mint, or parsley)
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add oil and water gradually, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. If dough feels sticky, add a little flour. If too dry, add a small amount of water.
Rest the Dough
Cover the dough and let it rest for 5–10 minutes. This helps make the flatbreads softer and easier to roll.
Shape the Flatbreads
Divide dough into small equal balls. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin circle about ⅛ to ¼ inch thick.
Cook the Flatbreads
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place one flatbread in the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles appear and the bottom turns golden. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown and slightly puffed.
Prepare Garlic Oil
In a small bowl, mix pressed garlic, oil, herbs, and a pinch of salt.
Brush and Serve
Brush garlic herb oil over each flatbread while still warm. Serve immediately.
