Garlic Herb Flatbread

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour (3 cups)
• Sugar (1 teaspoon)
• Salt (1 teaspoon)
• Dried herbs (oregano, basil, or thyme) (1 tablespoon)
• Garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
• Olive oil (2 tablespoons, plus additional for brushing)
• Warm water (1 cup (110°f or 43°c))
• Active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet))

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, dried herbs, salt, and sugar. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture along with the olive oil.
4. Stir the mixture until a dough starts to form, then transfer it to a floured surface. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
6. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
7. Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air. Divide the dough into 6 equal portions.
8. Roll out each portion into a thin circle or oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
9. Place the rolled flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the flatbreads are golden brown and slightly crispy.
10. Remove the flatbreads from the oven and immediately brush them with additional olive oil. Sprinkle with extra herbs and a touch of salt, if desired.
11. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious garlic herb flatbread!
