Quick Garlic and Herb FlatBread Recipe

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, add flour. Whisk through yeast and salt. Make a well in the middle.

Step 2

Pour in warm water and olive oil. Using a wooden spoon, gently mix the flour into the liquid. Mixing until a soft dough forms. You may want to use your hands for this step!

Step 3

On a lightly floured surface, turn out dough and knead lightly until the dough is smooth all over, approx. 15-20 seconds of light kneading.

Step 4

Form dough into a smooth ball on floured surface and cover with a clean tea towel. Allow to rest for 10 minutes.

Step 5

In a small cast iron skillet or fry pan, drizzle enough olive oil to create a light coating on the base and sides of the pan. Begin to warm pan over a low heat whilst you roll your dough out.

Step 6

Divide dough into four quarters.

Step 7

Take one quarter and cover the remaining with the tea towel.

Step 8

Lightly dust a rolling pin with flour. Roll out the piece of dough to a 15cm-20cm round that is 3mm-4mm in thickness.

Step 9

Increase heat of pan to medium-high. Once hot, place dough round into pan and cook for 1 minute and 30 seconds - 2 minutes until air bubbles begin to appear under the surface of the dough.

Step 10

Carefully flip over and cook for a further 30-40 seconds until nicely golden and cooked through.

Step 11

Remove from pan and whilst still warm, brush over a layer of olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic powder and dried herbs to desired amount. Set aside. NOTE: Keep the completed flatbreads warm in a pre-heated oven while you make the remaining breads if desired.

Step 12

Repeat this method with the three remaining dough pieces.

Step 13

Serve and enjoy alone or paired with curry, stew, pasta, or soup!
