Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
• 3/4 cup warm water (about 110°F)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• Extra olive oil for brushing
• Flour for dusting

How to Make Garlic Herb Flatbreads

1. In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the activated yeast mixture and olive oil.
3. Mix until a dough begins to form. Add minced garlic, parsley, basil, and black pepper, and knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
5. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a baking sheet or pizza stone inside to heat.
6. Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece out on a floured surface into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
7. Carefully place the flatbreads on the hot baking sheet or stone. Brush with extra olive oil and sprinkle with more minced garlic and herbs if desired.
8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the flatbreads are golden brown and puffed up.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your water is not too hot; it should feel warm to the touch to avoid killing the yeast.
• Knead the dough well to develop gluten for a chewy texture.
• For extra flavor, consider adding grated cheese or other herbs to the dough.
• If you like a crispy flatbread, bake it a little longer, but keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the herbs for dried Italian seasoning or add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
• Mix in some grated Parmesan or feta cheese directly into the dough for added flavor.
• For a whole wheat version, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.

What to Serve With It

• Hummus or tzatziki for a classic Mediterranean dip.
• Olive oil and balsamic vinegar for a simple and effective dip.
• Your favorite marinara sauce for a flatbread pizza experience.
• Roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a light meal.
