How to Make Garlic Flatbread

Ingredients:

  • 200 g All-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp Minced garlic
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Melted unsalted butter
  • 2.5 tbsp Chopped coriander
  • 380 ml Water

Directions:

  1. Put the all-purpose flour, salt, minced garlic, and water in a container and mix well.
  2. Add the melted unsalted butter and chopped coriander to the mixture and mix again until combined.
  3. Heat a pan over medium heat. Add a teaspoon of oil to the pan.
  4. Use a large spoon to scoop up the batter and pour two half spoonfuls into the pan.
  5. Fry for 1 to 2 minutes, then turn to the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes.
  6. Flip back and forth 2 to 3 times until you see bubbles forming in the batter.
  7. If there are bubbles, turn the heat to high. You will notice large bubbles forming.
  8. Repeat the process for the remaining batter to make more flatbreads.

How to Serve Garlic Flatbread

Garlic flatbread is best served warm and fresh from the pan. You can enjoy it on its own or paired with dips like hummus or tzatziki. It also complements main dishes such as curries and stews, making it a versatile choice for any meal.

How to Store Garlic Flatbread

If you have leftovers, allow the flatbread to cool completely. Then, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. You can also freeze them for longer storage. Just place parchment paper between each flatbread, wrap them tightly, and store in a freezer bag. To reheat, you can warm them up in a pan or microwave.

Tips to Make Garlic Flatbread

  • Ensure your pan is properly heated before adding the batter to get the best bubbles.
  • Experiment with different herbs, such as parsley or chives, in place of coriander for varied flavor.
  • Don’t skip the melted butter; it adds richness and helps with browning.

Variation

You can add cheese to the batter for a cheesy garlic flatbread. Simply mix in shredded cheese when combining the other ingredients. Alternatively, you can top the flatbreads with cheese while frying for a nice melted finish.

FAQs

1. Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour? Yes, you can! Whole wheat flour will give the flatbread a different texture and flavor, but it works well.

2. How do I make this dairy-free? To make this recipe dairy-free, simply omit the melted butter or use a dairy-free substitute like olive oil or vegan butter.

3. Can I make the batter ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the batter ahead of time. Just cover it and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir well before using.
