10-Minute Garlic Flatbreads
“Soft, chewy, and garlicky flatbreads made in a flash — no yeast, no oven, no stress!”
📝 Description:
These quick skillet garlic flatbreads come together in just 10 minutes using simple pantry ingredients. There’s no yeast or rising time — just mix, roll, and cook! They’re perfect for dipping, wrapping, or serving alongside curries, soups, and salads.
🧂 Ingredients (Makes ~4 small flatbreads):
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup plain yogurt (Greek or regular)
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1–2 cloves garlic, minced (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (plus more for cooking)
- Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
🔥 Instructions:
- Make the Dough:
In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Add yogurt, garlic, and olive oil or melted butter. Stir to form a soft dough. - Knead Lightly:
Turn onto a floured surface and knead for 1–2 minutes until smooth. If too sticky, add a sprinkle of flour. - Divide & Roll:
Divide into 3–4 balls. Roll each into a thin round (~⅛-inch thick) using a rolling pin or your hands. - Cook in a Skillet:
Heat a dry or lightly greased skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each flatbread for 1–2 minutes per side until puffed and golden brown spots appear. - Garnish & Serve:
Brush with more melted butter or oil, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve warm.
🧠 Notes:
- Greek yogurt makes a firmer dough; regular yogurt yields a softer one — both work.
- Add extra garlic, chili flakes, or herbs to the dough for flavor boosts.
- Dough can rest for 5–10 minutes before rolling for easier handling, but it’s not required.
💡 Tips:
- If the dough is too dry, add a splash of milk or water.
- Want extra flavor? Add grated cheese or za’atar to the dough.
- Double the recipe easily for more servings or batch prep.
- Brush with garlic butter after cooking for extra indulgence.
🍽️ Servings:
- Makes 3–4 flatbreads
