Description

Garlic and Butter Flatbread is a quick, soft, and savory homemade bread brushed with rich garlic butter and perfect as a side, snack, or wrap. It’s easy to make with simple ingredients and full of flavor.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • 24 tbsp water (as needed)

For the garlic butter:

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Stir in yogurt and olive oil to form a rough dough. Add water a tablespoon at a time if needed and knead until smooth.
  3. Let dough rest for 10–15 minutes. Divide into 4–6 equal pieces.
  4. Roll each piece into a 1/4-inch thick round or oval.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium-high. Cook flatbreads for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and puffed.
  6. In a small saucepan, melt butter. Add garlic and simmer gently until fragrant (1–2 minutes). Stir in herbs and salt.
  7. Brush warm flatbreads with garlic butter and serve stacked.

Notes

  • Add shredded cheese or dried herbs to the dough for extra flavor.
  • Use ghee for an Indian-style twist.
  • Add chili flakes to the butter for a spicy version.
  • Bake at 425°F for 8–10 minutes instead of pan-frying if preferred.
  • Freeze cooked flatbreads between parchment for future use.
