Roasted Garlic and Parmesan Flatbread
Oh man, have I got a treat for you today! Imagine pulling apart a piece of warm, crispy flatbread, the aroma of roasted garlic and melted Parmesan hitting you like a cozy blanket. It’s the kind of snack that makes you forget you were ever supposed to share.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for brushing
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in the water and 2 tbsp olive oil, stirring until a dough forms. Tip: If the dough feels too sticky, add a sprinkle more flour.
- Knead the dough: On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 3 minutes until smooth. Tip: This is your stress relief step—knead like you mean it!
- Let it rest: Cover the dough with a towel and let it rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Roll it out: Roll the dough into a thin, even circle on a floured surface. Tip: No rolling pin? A wine bottle works in a pinch!
- Add toppings: Brush the top with olive oil, then sprinkle with minced garlic, Parmesan, and parsley.
- Bake to perfection: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.
The flatbread comes out with a perfect crunch, the garlic mellowed into sweetness, and the Parmesan adding a salty bite. Try tearing it into strips and dipping into warm marinara for an extra layer of yum.
Curry-Spiced Flatbread
Zesty and full of flavor, this Curry-Spiced Flatbread is your ticket to turning a boring dinner into a feast. Imagine tearing into warm, fluffy bread that’s got just the right kick of curry—yeah, it’s as good as it sounds.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3/4 cup warm water (about 110°F)
- 1 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Activate yeast: In a small bowl, mix warm water, honey, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, curry powder, and salt.
- Combine wet and dry: Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Tip: If the dough sticks to your hands, add a little more flour.
- Let rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Shape dough: Punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a flat circle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cook flatbread: Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each flatbread for 2 minutes per side or until golden brown spots appear. Tip: Don’t overcrowd the skillet; cook one at a time for even browning.
- Serve warm: Brush with a little more olive oil and sprinkle with extra curry powder if you like it spicy. Tip: These are best eaten fresh but can be reheated in a toaster for a quick snack.
The flatbread comes out wonderfully soft with a slight chew, and the curry powder gives it a warm, aromatic flavor that’s not too overpowering. Try tearing it into pieces and dipping it into hummus or using it as a wrap for your favorite grilled veggies.
