Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary

  • Additional olive oil for brushing

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, and chopped rosemary to the dry ingredients. Mix well to distribute the herbs and garlic evenly.
  3. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the warm water and olive oil.

  6. Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  7. Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
  8. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a thin round flatbread, about 1/4-inch thick.
  9. Brush one side of each flatbread with olive oil and place it oiled-side down on the preheated skillet or griddle.
  10. Cook for about 2 minutes until golden brown and then flip to cook the other side for an additional 2 minutes.
  11. Remove the flatbread from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining portions of dough.
