Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup warm water (about 110°F)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for brushing)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup fresh herbs (such as parsley, rosemary, or thyme), chopped

How to Make Herbed Flatbread with Garlic and Olive Oil

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt.
2. Pour in the warm water and olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
3. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 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 30 minutes.
5. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a baking stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
6. After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 4 equal pieces.
7. Roll each piece into a thin circle (about 1/4 inch thick) on a floured surface.
8. Transfer the rolled flatbreads to a parchment-lined baking sheet or to the baking stone.
9. Brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with minced garlic and chopped herbs.
10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
11. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
• For a more intense flavor, let the flatbreads cool slightly, then brush with additional garlic-infused olive oil.
• Experiment with different combinations of herbs based on your preference.

Easy Variations

• Cheesy Flatbread: Add shredded mozzarella or feta cheese on top before baking.
• Spicy Flatbread: Incorporate red pepper flakes into the dough for a kick.
• Sweet Flatbread: Substitute herbs with cinnamon and sugar for a sweet treat.

What to Serve With It

• Hummus or tzatziki for dipping.
• A fresh salad for a light meal.
• Charcuterie board with meats and cheeses.
• Soups and stews for dipping.
