GARLIC AND BUTTER FLATBREAD

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus extra for brushing)
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• A pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions:

1. Make the Dough:
   • In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
   • Add warm water and olive oil to the bowl. Mix until a dough forms. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until you get a soft, smooth dough.
   • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 3-5 minutes, until it becomes elastic and smooth.
   • Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Garlic Butter:
   • In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with minced garlic. Stir well, then set aside.
3. Roll Out the Dough:
   • After the dough has rested, divide it into 4 equal portions.
   • Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten it with your hands or a rolling pin into a round shape about 1/4-inch thick.
4. Cook the Flatbread:
   • Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly grease the surface with olive oil.
   • Place one piece of dough onto the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots appear and it puffs up a bit.
   • Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough.
5. Add Garlic Butter:
   • As soon as the flatbread is cooked, brush each piece with the garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle with chopped parsley (optional) and a pinch of sea salt, if desired.
6. Serve:
   • Serve the garlic and butter flatbreads warm. They’re great on their own or as a side to dips, curries, or pasta dishes.

Enjoy your flavorful, buttery flatbread!
