Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and dried herbs. Whisk together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
- Add the olive oil and warm water to the dry mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough begins to form.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle, about 6-8 inches in diameter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, place one flatbread in the skillet.
- Cook each flatbread for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
- Remove the flatbreads from the skillet and brush each with melted butter.
- Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
- Serve warm, and enjoy with your favorite dips, spreads, or as a side to your favorite dishes!
Tips
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dough.
