Tasty Garlic Butter Flatbread

Category: Lunch

This flatbread has a soft, golden inside and a yummy garlic butter brush on top. You'll use easy stuff like flour, baking powder, and olive oil. After mixing and letting the dough sit, cook it in a hot pan till it puffs up a bit and turns golden. Then, spread garlic, melted butter, and some parsley on for a tasty, fresh finish. It's best served warm, great with dips like hummus or tzatziki.

Want it crunchier? Cook it a bit longer on each side till golden and crisp. For a little spice, toss in some red pepper flakes into the garlic butter.

Frequently Asked Cooking Questions

→ Which flour should I pick for the flatbread?

All-purpose flour works best because it makes the bread tender yet firm enough to cook evenly in a pan.

→ Can I swap butter for something else when brushing?

Sure, olive oil or ghee can work too, but butter gives a richer taste that goes great with garlic and parsley.

→ How can I get the flatbread crunchier?

Just cook it a bit longer on each side in your pan until it turns a nice golden and gets crisp without burning.

→ Is it ok to make the dough ahead of time?

Definitely, you can make the dough ahead and keep it covered in the fridge for up to a day to save time later.

→ What dips taste good with this garlic butter flatbread?

Tasty dips like hummus, tzatziki, or yogurt-based sauces match the buttery garlic and boost the flavors.
