Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Topping

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • Olive oil (for mixing with garlic)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the warm water and olive oil, stirring until a dough forms.
  2. Knead the dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  3. Rest the dough: Cover the dough with a damp cloth and allow it to rest for 15 minutes to relax the gluten and make rolling easier.
  4. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to get it hot enough for baking the flatbread to a crispy golden finish.
  5. Roll out the dough: Roll the rested dough out on a floured surface into a thin oval or rectangle, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Prepare the baking sheet: Place the rolled dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy clean-up.
  7. Mix garlic and oil: In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic with a small amount of olive oil to create a fragrant garlic oil spread.
  8. Apply garlic oil: Spread the garlic and olive oil mixture evenly over the surface of the rolled dough, distributing the flavor well.
  9. Add parmesan cheese: Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly on top of the garlic-coated dough for a delicious cheesy crust.
  10. Bake the flatbread: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the cheese is slightly bubbly.
  11. Finish and garnish: Optionally, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley on top after baking for added freshness and color before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the water is warm but not hot to help activate the baking powder without killing the yeast (if used).
  • Resting the dough helps improve texture and makes it easier to roll out thinly.
  • You can add extra herbs like oregano or basil to the garlic oil for additional flavor.
  • Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to retain crispiness.
