These Garlic Flatbreads are soft, fluffy, and infused with savory garlic butter, perfect as a side for any meal or as a snack on their own. Made with a simple dough of yeast, yogurt, and flour, they are cooked on a skillet to achieve a golden, bubbly exterior and topped with fragrant melted garlic butter for a delicious finish.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 2 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour

Topping

  • 2 Tbsp melted butter
  • 2 tsp garlic, minced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Activate Yeast: In a large bowl, combine the warm water, instant yeast, and sugar. Let the mixture sit for about five minutes until it becomes bubbly, indicating the yeast is active and ready to use.
  2. Mix Dough: To the yeast mixture, add olive oil, plain yogurt, egg, salt, and 2 cups of flour. Stir everything together until smooth to form a loose dough.
  3. Knead the Dough: Gradually add the remaining flour a little at a time until a soft dough forms. Transfer it to a floured surface and knead a few times until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  4. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  5. Preheat Skillet: Once dough has risen, preheat a skillet over medium heat in preparation for cooking the flatbreads.
  6. Shape Flatbreads: Divide the dough into eight equal pieces. Roll each piece on a floured surface into a circle approximately 6 inches in diameter.
  7. Cook Flatbreads: Lightly oil or spray the skillet. Cook each rolled dough circle for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  8. Add Garlic Butter Topping: Mix the minced garlic into the melted butter if using. Brush the hot, bubbly top side of each flatbread with the melted garlic butter right after cooking for extra flavor and moisture.

Notes

  • Use warm water (about 110°F/43°C) for activating yeast to ensure it blooms properly.
  • Adjust flour quantity as needed to get a soft but not sticky dough.
  • For a dairy-free variation, substitute yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use oil instead of butter for brushing.
  • These flatbreads are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat on a skillet or in a toaster oven to retain their softness and crisp edges.
